Carlsbad, New Mexico: Caverns, Hiking, and Aliens!

Carlsbad, New Mexico: Caverns, Hiking, and Aliens! Our almost six months in Texas has come to an end with our westward journey into New Mexico. The trip across west Texas was a long drive, but we enjoyed the changing scenery. We split the 500 miles up into smaller chunks by taking overnight stops at Junction and Fort Stockton, Texas before arriving at our destination of Carlsbad, New Mexico (LINK). Did I mention that we saw a huge cavern, took a great hike and went to Roswell, NM?

One of the first things we did upon arriving in town, was to walk the Riverwalk and have lunch at one of the fine restaurants. We love the riverwalk. I could do that every day. It’s like walking a beach at sunset. You are simply drawn to it. On the other hand, the majestic missions are rich with 1600’s history and are interesting to study. So, just before we left San Antonio, we were on a mission!

San Antonio; King William Historical District

We really enjoyed walking through the King William district the last time that we were in San Antonio. So, returning to the city this was a must do enjoyable walk through a beautiful and historic neighborhood. Just south of downtown, this area is filled with stately old homes built in Greek revival, Victorian and Italianate architecture. It ranks right up there with Beacon Hill in Boston, the French Quarter in New Orleans and Georgetown in Washington D.C. We’ve now seen all four!
