‘The
truth is out there’
Today
we drove 1100kms. We stopped for lunch in a small town in New Mexico that just
so happened to be called Las Vegas. The boys were a little hesitant so we put
our faith in a familiar restaurant and chose to grab something quick and easy from
Burger King. Bad idea! It was some of the worst food we have ever eaten, made
all the worse when we realised Las Vegas had managed to screw us over, a second
time!
We
took a slight detour from the highway so we could visit Roswell, New Mexico. Apparently
this is the area were the United States Government covered up a UFO crash in
1947. Keanan (sci-fi nerd) had the chance to fulfil one of his life-long dreams
when we attended the International UFO Research Centre and Museum. It quickly
became apparent that the museum was cheap and tacky. We ventured into a couple
of touristy shops on the main street and they were just as sad, so we quickly got
out of this dump of a town and made our way to Midland, Texas.
We
were all weary from our long day on the road, but still excited to be in Texas.
Jon was delighted to be greeted by a man at the check-in desk who looked like
someone straight out of the film Deliverance.
The lady who delivered our Dominos later when we realised we’d entered a
different time zone and there was no other food available (honest!) was
probably his wife/sister, both?
