Roswell, NM
The second day consisted of touring all of Roswell, which included some museums and some gift shops n other things of that nature. Everything is alien oriented in Roswell (of course). Even the Wal-Nast has aliens painted on the outside n the local Arby's has a sign that says "Aliens Welcome." I think that the whole alien thing is overrated n over played in NM. Like I said in day one, we got in2 town around 8am, but we couldn't check in until after 11am. So to kill time we had breakfast at Denny's, which is always delightful with all the creepers there! To kill more time we decided 2 hit up a museum, but as we were waiting for the place to open, a tour bus rolled up filled with old people. We figured out that the museum we were gonna go to wasn't the museum we wanted. So we bounced n headed to the other alien shops n museums. We got some souvenirs n all that jazz n by that time it was after 11am, so we headed back to the hotel. After we checked into our hotel, Crys took a nap n I took wes n cameron to the "Bottomless Lake" that was only 10 minutes away from the hotel. All I'm gonna say about the bottomless lake is that either we went 2 the wrong place or NM likes 2 play jokes on the tourists. The "lake" totally had a bottom, it was only like half a foot deep with what seemed like quicksand. Anyhoo, we followed TomTom to the place, which I think the biznatch lied 2 us, n once we got there we parked n went 2 the water. Wes n I were walking in the water, n I will say this, if it weren't 4 the sinking mud, it would've been a bomb place 2 go skim boarding. Regardless, the point of the story is that once I got there, not 5 minutes into it, my foot sinks n I step on glass or a stick or something n totally cut my foot! It was awesome! (Not really). So I hobbled back 2 the car n my foot kept sinking in the mud. Once 2 the car I cleaned my wound the best I could. While I was doing that Wes n Cameron walked thru the mud on the other side of the road 2 see if that body of water was the Bottomless "Lake." Yeah no, strike 2. So they get back n I have them use the towels from the hotel to wipe their feet n use it as a floor mat, my car is not old enough 2 have mud stains! So we get back 2 the hotel n clean ourselves up n take a lil nap. After the nap, we all went back 2 walmart 2 get some games 2 play in the room n hit up McD's. We got back 2 the room n played Moment of Truth n Jenga 4 a couple hours, then just hung out n went 2 bed. Wes was able to borrow Misty's camera, so I'll have pics up on myspace n facebook as soon as I'm home. We tried to pack a lot of things in, and had an eventful Day Two.
