Another thing on Steve’s bucket list was to visit Roswell, located in southeastern N.M. This is the site of the famous intergalactic event known as the Roswell Incident. I am so glad to say this definitely met his expectations. Whether you believe in UFO’s or not it is definitely a place to go.
We got coffee from the McDonald’s that was shaped like a space ship. We enjoyed walking around town and seeing all the alien paraphernalia and of course taking many pictures 😊. However, the highlight of the day was visiting the International UFO Museum & Research Center. It was fascinating to learn facts about the mysterious crash of 1947. It even showcased other extraterrestrial events from different times and from all over the world. All in all, well worth the price of admission. I am not sure but it may have made a believer out of me!
Our time in New Mexico is almost over. It saddens me, as I really enjoyed this state. I feel there is so much more to see and do and eat. Did you know that apparently it is the only place in the world can you get a green chili burger (using Hatch Chilis) at a McDonald’s? Well, according to the bill boards it’s the only place. Not that we stop at McDonald’s very often but just saying…
Our next stop was in a little town called Portales. Here we found another brewery, if course. Now I know we have stopped at a lot of breweries on this trip. However, what you may not know is that they have some of the best food we have enjoyed. Today is no different and while the beer at the Roosevelt Brewing Company was excellent, the food was even better. I tried their green chili burger (with chilis from Hatch NM of course). This was hands down the best burger I have ever had and I did not have to go to McDonald’s 😊
