Roswell, New Mexico

Aliens. The whole town is centered on aliens.

We had a day off in Roswell, and had a great time both nights we were there. We stayed in a university gym and weren't provided with dinner, so a bunch of us - devon, emily, lynn and I decided to go into town to find something to eat. On our journey over, we met this group of students who were trying to study for their para medicine test the next day. Instead, they ate dinner with us at applebees and told us about Roswell and the surrounding area. They were a great group of people who definitely kept the night interesting.

The next day was glorious. Through donation magic, we got a free breakfast then set out to the alien museum. After browsing the local shops for random goodies, I went to an awesome Mexican restaurant and ate way too much.

The best part of the day was X-FILES!! We saw the movie on opening night in ROSWELL!! How perfect can it get?!? All we needed was someone to tell us their abduction story. The movie itself was decent but the experience was awesome.

I want to believe.

Hey Jess,

I am doing an article for in/ur magazine in Portland on voluntourism, or philanthropic vacations and I saw your blog. What a wonderful experience. Would you or anyone else you know be willing to do an email interview for the article.
The deadline is August 15th ( I just received notice) so any help I can get will be much appreciated,
