I spent my rainy day in Alamogordo checking out the town. I went to a Space History Museum and got to see all kinds of rockets and engines and cool things. They even had a former astronaut there talking about his experiences in space. He was really fun to listen to.
Apparently this part of the country is great for growing pistachios. There were pistachio farms everywhere! One of them also had wine tasting. Who'd of guessed? But I gotta say, the pistachios are probably better than the wine.
The next day the rain cleared up and I was able to check out White Sands. It's a really beautiful place. I climbed up some sand dunes and took a few pics before my camera battery died. Then I hit the road to Carlsbad.
