    We woke up in the middle of nowhere, Texas this morning and set off on the road straight away to New Mexico.

    Checkin at Tatum, New Mexico

      As we neared the state line, we started noticing beautiful iron work on the gates of all the ranches and when we reached the town of Tatum, all of the street signs and businesses had the same style of iron work design.

      We then passed by Poor Boys Metal Art where all the sculptures had come from and bought a small iron chick. We'd have loved to get a much bigger piece but they were so heavy that even a smallish one would have put our baggage over the weight allowance.

    We then drove to Roswell, a town I've wanted to visit ever since watching X-Files as a kid.

    As expected, the entire town was covered in aliens and UFOs, from the fast food restaurants right down to the street lights.

      We stopped off at the International UFO Museum to take a look around. It was filled with plaques, replica debris and eyewitness accounts of the Roswell UFO crash.

      The spinning UFO display with model aliens was my favourite part.

    Back on the road, it was time for a long drive north to Santa Fe. I had remembered how vibrant the sunsets were from our last trip to New Mexico.

    Checkin at Vinaigrette

      We arrived in Santa Fe late in the evening and feeling super hungry. Luckily I'd found a place called Vinaigrette where we could tuck in to giant salads.

      I had an Asian chop noodle salad served with a seared tuna steak and it tasted amazing.

      Our hotel for the night was the Silver Saddle Motel which was western themed and filled with adorable cowboy decorations.
