Roswell was one of the cities that I absolutely wanted to visit during my stay here in US. So one weekend we decided to rent a car with few people and drive there for a day :P It seems that in fact there's really nothing to see in Roswell... heheh.. Many people already said that there's nothing to see so we could already kind of expect it :D Basically we just went to the UFO museum and local Wal Mart. The UFO museum was really lame... I was expecting something a bit better than just some pictures and text on the walls.. And plus you had to pay 5 dollars for it. I wouldn't recommend. Besides the museum was really small and the gift shop expencive and crapy. Anyway, we went to see the local Wal Mart because we were told that it would look funny outside with the ufo stuff. And it seemed that Wal Mart of Roswell had the best souvenirs we could find and the cheapest ones too :)
Streetlamps in Roswell are shape of ufo :D
Everything in Roswell is about UFOs :P
Me and Julia hugging an alien!
On the way back to Las Cruces we stopped in a ghost town called Lincoln. It was in fact quite creapy.. It was already dark and there was absolutely nobody, we could only hear dogs barking. Not even any cars were passing by... I took a small video there, you can't see so much, but listen carefully ;) It's like Blare Witch Project :D
Next day we drove to Carlsbad Caverns, a really amazing network of caves that was formed during millions of years. It was like mines of Moria from the Lord of the Rings! Really cool! I took lots of pictures but most of them are too dark or blurry, but I tried to select here some of the best ones.

The natural entrance, it was also possible to go there with an elevator
Inside the caverns...
On the way back we went to see some small waterfalls and were also hunting some other ghost towns. We kind of found one but then we got lost on the way. We wanted to get back to the highway to El Paso but we ended up to some very strange and small road which seemed like not a road at all. It was full of huge stones and we could only drive like 10 miles per hour and in addition to that we were running out of gas.. We decided to turn back and ended up in a camping area which was the end of the road. We were guided to drive back to Carslbad, the city and take the highway from there. Well, we just managed to go there with the gas that we had left :D In total we were lost for hours and decided to have dinner in Carlsbad. So that the story wouldn't get too boring, we came back to Las Cruces something like 1 in the morning and plus I got some strange stomach ache and was throwing up the whole night!

Queen, the ghost town we found! After this we got lost...
