Socorro, NM

Socorro is a little town with funny stuff. It is the nearest town to the Trinity Site and a few miles from the VLA.

There are aliens next to Jesus:


A motel that claims to have clean rooms (who is expecting to go to a motel with rooms that are not clean?):


"Margo's Beauty Salon. We'll curl up... and dye for you":

Jesus next to King Kong:

Instead of having a jacuzzi at home, they have a huge coffee cup and the sun is reversed (by the way, that cafe was closed) :

La primera vez que escuché del VLA fue en Contacto, con Judy Foster. No volví a saber de él hasta ahora que lo mencionas en tu post y hace unos d{ias, el lunes para ser precios, que vino un astrónomo de ensenada a hablarnos de "astroquimica". Muy buen tipo.
