His name is Li’ll Umberto and he has two bothers Li’ll Umberto and his other brother Li’ll Umberto. We took the Amtrak train to Albuquerque and started a journey of the state of New Mexico and our first place to visit was Roswell, with the purpose of visiting the Alien Museum.

We loved it as did Li’ll Umberto and Flo, our travel mascots. There are even street lights that have alien eyes on them, alien loans to be had and just all kinds of alien related murals all over town.  Enjoy and I am telling you they are out there. Oh, the other very important thing to do in New Mexico is find the best green chile cheeseburger so I started in Roswell at Peppers Grill and Bar. They put out a very good green chile cheeseburger and it was over a week before I found a better one.
