Today was such a long day. We drove something like 8 hours from Abilene to Santa Fe with a short stop in Roswell for lunch and a visit to the UFO museum.
So I have to admit that I was completely disappointed by the lack of an alien face on my burger at lunch. I was totally expecting aliens everywhere - alien-themed restaurants and shops all over the place. Alien-mania is not nearly as wide spread as I expected it to be. In reality, there were 4 or 5 alien souvenir shops and a UFO museum along the main business street and that was about it.
The UFO museum was alright - and very informative. I think I was expecting lots of pictures and videos. Not that they didn’t display those kinds of things, but they also had numerous newspaper articles and attempted to be as scientific as possible. I seriously tried to suspend my disbelief, but I’m not exactly sure how successful I was. I walked out with a very uneasy feeling about crop circles and maybe one or two doubts about the inexistence of “life out there.”

Anyways, we have arrived in Santa Fe and are planning on seeing the sites tomorrow. I’m too tired and it’s too late to do anything tonight.
