Roswell and Beyond..

We have had a lack of internet for the past few days so this is two days ago now. (plus Marcus and Rob have currently gone into hyper nerd mode)
Being only 75 miles from Roswell we got up fairly early and drove on in to Roswell. At first i was fairly exciting seeing the alien lampposts and spaceships out the side of buildings so we were pretty quick in getting to the UFO museum.

Oh on a side note here as we were leaving the motel in the morning Marcus noticed that he hadn't packed a sock so he tucked it in to his trouser waistband so in his words he "had a tail". By the time we got to Roswell he had forgotten about it but we noticed and couldn't stop laughing at him waling down the street with it still there. When he started to get REALLY annoyed that we were laughing and he didn't know why we told him and he joined in the laughing.
Back to the UFO museum, having paid $5 to get in we soon realised it wasn't that great. Maybe the shops were better? No. But we bought some alien tat before calling it a day in Roswell.
Unless you are really in to aliens and stuff like that don't bother going.We drove in to the night and actually made it to Austin rather than spending the night near by and completing the journey the next day. Austin at night looks really nice and you can see the impressing capitol building. Much nicer than the Port Talbot look-a-like we had to pass through to get there...Pulled in to a proper old school American motel like out of psycho for example and thats where we stayed the night. Before this we also all had a good laugh when we freaked out Marcus at a picnic stop on the way to Austin, he'd worked himself into a state talking about all the horror films set in Texas, and I jumped out and screamed at him while he sat in the car.
