Road Trip Day 8

Today I turned 25. At the International UFO Museum and Research Center the ticket seller asked me if I was turning 16. And I got carded for trying to buy an alien lighter for Vincenzo. Apparently you have to be 18 to purchase one. The museum had a lot of newspaper clippings and things to read so Vincenzo had a blast. The accounts of the initial 1947 Roswell crash were my favorite part because they seemed the most unaffected. The best was when the guy who found the crash site and brought his findings to the army ended up with a brand new truck and kept his mouth shut.

Then we drove through Albuquerque to Laguna Pueblo. It was not what we had expected- the historic pueblo was centered around a mission church and there were some houses, but I thought the church was beautiful. No photos allowed inside, but there were colorful murals with a great mix of Catholicism and traditional native american symbols.

We stopped at a campground in Grants and for the first time woke up a little cold!
