Small Museums rule "The Sequel"

Our stay in Santa Fe included some exploration of the surrounding area. We found ourselves at the Cerrillos Trading Post museum and I will let the pictures tell the rest of the story. I will mention that Cerrillos is a very strange little town, beautiful but weird.

Exterior . . . nice place huh 

Entrance gate in back of gift shop that contained nothing you would ever actually purchase. . . Hell I went in to buy a bag of chips . . . . no way, no food but behind this gate was a whole 'nother world

This is the first thing that caught my attention. . . .I just like this idea!

Gotta have a wooden Indian and cardboard cutouts of big stars with handwritten labels!
For those of you who are culturally deprived thats John Wayne on the left and Keefer Sutherland (pre 24 days) on the right!

Followed by room after room of cool stuff ( see below )

 cool stuff including . . .

these totally weird little hand made displays.

But this next one wins the award for bizarre!

Check out these brave Indian Turquoise miners!

Watch out Ken. . . .you've go competition! and by the way, nice hair dude, whats your secret?

Attractive art don't ya think!

Huh? Better read this one carefully.

And on the way out of town we ran into "Scary Larry," when we finally did stop to buy some chips in neighboring Madrid. . . . pronounced  Mad drid. Thats really his nickname. . . . .his travel companion  told us that she worked his scary persona into her most recent screenplay. I'm not making this up!

Close up of Larry's S&M Barbie wiper blade. . . .could this be a little kinky friend for our Turquoise miner? You never know. . . .

I think it is about time to head out of town towards our next museum. . . .The UFO Museum in Roswell!
