We drove and drove and drove! We drove in the rain most of the day from Roswell to Glendale, it took us a little over 12 hours but we did make a few stops along the way. We stopped in White Sands, NM, and guess what we saw... WHITE SAND! Unbelievable, I know!
As we were approaching AZ, we kept seeing billboards for "The Thing" that's all they said except an exit number; and we past lots of them! Brilliant marketing scheme I tell you, because sure enough we stopped to see what it was! First of all it is a gas station, a Dairy Queen, and a huge tourist gift shop... who'd have guessed! But there also were these big shed type buildings full of old antiques. Everything from cars to type writers to beds! So I guess those were "The Things"!
We drove around Tuscon for quite a while trying to find something to eat; it really is a pretty town. There are shapes and designs on all the bridges and walls, and just lots of neat stuff in downtown. We finally decided on a place and ate, and then got back on the road again. Our hotel this time isn't quite as nice as last time... but it also was only about half the price!!
