Roswell New Mexico

Friday 26 April 2019

We had breakfast in, then headed into town.  We parked and walked up to the visitors center, but we

already had all the hand outs that they had.  We did manage to get our pictures taken with the aliens while we were there.  We then headed down the street, hitting a couple of the shops, of course they are all alien related, go figure.  We had lunch at Pepper's Bar and Grill, my meal was good, Brad's was OK.  More walking after that and we made it to the UFO Museum.  It really was interesting to walk through.  There were a lot of the testimonials of the people that were supposedly at the UFO crash site, most from their death beds since their lives and the lives of their

families were threatened if they ever spoke of the incident.  There was a lot of information on many more sightings from all over the world along with pictures and transcripts.   It really makes you think.  Head home, rescue Rudy a couple of walks, dinner and off to bed.





We found the New Mexico
Military Institute, where our

High School.

We had breakfast on the grill, then headed into town to visit the museum.  We stopped at three different ones and they were all closed....what the heck.  The only thing we could find open was a

winery....imagine that.  Well we stopped in and did a wine tasting which ended up being some pretty decent wine, so we decided to stay for lunch and have a nice glass of wine.  Well you know how that goes, we couldn't decide on something we both liked, so we each had something different, ordered sandwiches (which were wonderful).  Then we ordered another glass of wine and headed to the patio, there was finally a seat open out side.  We ended up being there about 3 hours, had a nice time, but  the shopping got put on hold, headed home and a walk for Rudy....and us.  Oh what a day, day drinking and off to bed earlier than normal.

Today is a stay at home, clean, laundry and all that fun stuff you still need to do.  We did a lot of break walks with Rudy, then headed out about 2:00 to find the grocery store and get the few things

we needed.  Back home finish all that we had started, wine didn't get opened until about 6:00, then a start to a great evening dinner.  We had the last of the Filet mignons, mushrooms and enjoyed the evening.  Not much exciting but a lot of little things got done.

It was kind of a cool morning but we still had breakfast on grill.  We headed in to town around 1030 to the Historical Society Museum.  It was in a old house of one of the original cattle ranchers of the area. Is was a grand old house for the time.  It was brick/stone, some 5000 plus square foot 2 and 1/2 story house.  Beautiful wood work including a 4 foot wide front door.  Lot of historical displays upstairs including the 1956 Little League Championship team photo from Williamsport Pa.  Next was lunch at a Thai place, the food was great and we brought half of it home.   Our last task of the day was to pick up some wine.  Not an easy task, we went from one end of town to the other stopped at three stores and when it was over we ended up buying wine at Walgreens.  Finally we head home, walked Rudy and left overs for dinner and start packing for our move tomorrow.


The museum was a

Beautiful!!
