- New Mexican style Mexican food is quite different than the Tex Mex we get here in the Dallas – Fort Worth Metroplex.
I didn’t see any UFOS in the sky, but I spotted shop windows and signs all over town featuring aliens galore:

I traveled thru Roswell for the first time in March of 2010. I LOVE all the references to UFOs & space aliens. Too funny!
Hi Laree’ & Debby: Thanks for your comments. I would definitely like to go back to Roswell sometime, especially during their yearly Alien Festival. That has got to be fun. :) ~Tui
How fun is that! Sounds like a great trip. Love the photos!
