Westward Ho!

We have made the great turn to the west to follow the sun for a while. We departed from Lakefront Airport this morning and headed out over Louisiana bayou country. My god is it vast from the air! It is an almost an endless stretch of green and water. It is the world of alligators, spanish moss, and cypress. If you closed your eyes you could almost hear the creole rising up from the river bends below.

Before long we were making our transition to land at Austin, TX. Because we could see that some weather was going to move into the Roswell, NM area we decided to just fuel up, grab a quick bite, and take off again. The flight from Austin to Roswell sees a gradual but definitive change from the Texas Hill Country to the scrub desert where Roswell is located.

Jerry wanted this stop on the route so that we could check out the thing that Roswell is know for which are all the UFO sitings in the area since WWII. After our 30 minute visit to the "International UFO Museum and Alien Research Center" we both were like, alright that was enough. That means that we have just had some good down time here. Tomorrow off to the mountains...

Tomorrow, I am going to work on getting more photos in here... technical dificulties. :)
