If you are driving from Santa Fe to Carlsbad you have to stop in Roswell, New Mexico.
I mean come on! The heart of Alien Country is a must on anyone's To Do List. As you drive into town you start noticing almost every business has some form of alien outside, or has incorporated little green people into their billboards, lamp posts have alien shaped lights, or even the McDonald's is shaped like a flying saucer.
But that's pretty much it. We were expecting full on kitsch with people walking around dressed like aliens or at least alien antennae. We ate at Farley's hoping for some fun menu items, but other than the science fiction decor, they didn't take it very far. Where are the suspicious panel vans? Where are the men in science coats clustered around a creepy warehouse?
The UFO International Museum was closed to the public, but the attached gift shop was open. We had to get temperature checked first, but were able to shop to our heart's content.
Another round of hotel laundry and we were ready for bed.
