Last night was a chilling experience but in the morning it didn’t seem as scary for some reason. We payed our fee and took off. We reached two tiny villages called Magdalene and Kelly Town. This used to be an old mining facility up until the 1950’s where everything was depleted and most of the many thousand people left the city to seek fortune in another place. A creepy place since everything was just abandoned and there was only about a few hundred people left living in the village of Magdalene. Kelly Town was completely deserted except for the town church that was newly redone even though nobody lived in the village. Again we were pretty scared as it reminded us of a place from a movie where they would sacrifice children to some sort of demon god. After we had looked around we had to leave as it was getting way too creepy to be in the area. The mood was eerie, curtains drawn and everything was dead quiet even though people were still around. We drove off towards the Very Large Array where SETI (Search for Extra Terrestial Intelligence) is based. It’s the largest telescope in the world and consists of 27 huge antenna dishes. Many scientists work here around the clock searching for intelligent life in outer space by the use of radiowaves. In the afternoon and after we had seen the array, we drove towards the little town of Truth or Consequences where we got ourselves a room at Riverbend Hot Springs. We soaked in the nice hot springs and relaxed after a few hard days. It was nice to relax and just take it easy after all the driving we had done so far. We met another guest at the hotel called Bud, he told us a little about his life and how he came to this hotel on a regular basis. Later we went downtown to the local market and bought some nice dinner we could cook in our little kitchen in the room. After dinner we decided to take another soak in the warm waters. When we got to the room there was a huge cockroach in our room about 15 cm (6 inches) long. It was huge and the girls screamed. I killed it with my shoe and Bud kept on talking about it creating bad karma but it was all I could think of at that moment.
