28.) A Very Special Place in Rodeo, Durango

In the town of Rodeo, Durango, we had a very nice surprise in that we found the coolest, cheesiest, and most atrocious motel of the whole trip. And all for $9 bux! It was such a buzz that both Jim and I took videos of the place.

This motel was complete with crowing chickens, pig stys, and a homemade Virgin of Guadalupe shrine in the parking lot, and nearly a full cathedral in the upstairs common room. Totally bizarre place. This place probably used to be an insane asylum.

Here is my video first.



Now here is Jim's.



Now, let's follow up with some photos. These are of Jim's room. How is that for luxury? Look, his curtain rod is crooked too.



I am jealous. He got tile in his bathroom.



This hallway to the room is positively frightening. See that water heater just sitting at the end of the hall. One house sized heater to serve a whole motel. Stuff like that happens in Mexico. And look at that floor. Does it look like a few lunatics have been pacing back and forth in there or what?



The ubiquitous Virgin shrine.



And this time Jesus is there too. Oftentimes He is not.



Jim is just way too organized for me.
