Roswell, New Mexico

Yesterday we went to the Indian Flea Market at the Tesuque Pueblo.  It had a lot of nice things with some really nice prices.  We tried to visit the pueblos but they are still in use and on the reservations, so we went back to Santa Fe and toured the Governor's Palace and museum.  People don't realize how much history there is in the southwest.  They started settling it before Jamestown and Plymouth.  And before that were the Native Americans.  We hear so much about the English, Dutch and so on, that we forget about the Spanish.  It was really interesting.  Of course, inside the museums you can't take pictures.  But I did post from the day before.
We left this morning and drove down to Roswell.  The drive was very nice and fast.  All four lane roads all the way and Marv got to play with his new GPS.  It really worked.  But there was only three turns between RV parks.
Roswell is a nice little town.  Even without the aliens.  Of course, we had to go to the UFO museum and Research center.  There wasn't much to it but was fun.  Took a picture but haven't downloaded it.  Wasn't really worth it.  But they do have a Golden Corral and Marv is taking me out to dinner tonight.
It will be an easy drive to Carlsbad tomorrow and we plan on staying for four nights so should get to see everything we want to see.  I'm hoping to see the bats leave or enter the caves.  That will be so cool.  And the caverns too.
That's all for now.  Til later.
