Lots of Driving & the Marcus Surprise

Today was a fun day but with lots of driving.
We had to get as close as to Roswell as we could so we could have a full day there. So we hit the road earlyish.

The first stop of the day was a plane bone yard just outside of Tucson. Rows and rows of planes being dismantled and just out in the desert.
We were just going to go on and drive as far as we could and find a motel to sleep in for the night. However we saw a sign for Tombstone and the O.K. Corral! We couldn't pass up the chance to go there.
It was brilliant. Cowboys everywhere, a real old western town. Rob and James bought cowboy hats (myself and Marcus are waiting for Texas) and looked at all the old western sights.
The surprise of the day is when Marcus went to get an ice cream and came out with the biggest smile on his face insisting he gets us all an ice cream from the snack corral. We soon found out why - the hot ice cream counter girl. The real surprise is when she came outside and was talking to us, then she went back inside and came out with a slip of paper with her phone number on it for Marcus to ring in June. That's when she is visiting England. He went back to see if she had facebook (she had never heard of facebook) but she did have myspace so we have been looking up her photos. I'll leave it to him to comment on that.
We did have a great time discussing her all the way to the motel 6 that we are in right now. We are less than 75 miles away from Roswell so we are going to get up early and complete the drive in the morning to see all the alien things.

We were also treated to a moon rise over the desert, but was a little tricky to photo.
