Look What We Found on Our Way

SCENE:  Travelling south from Santa Fe to Albuquerque, Exit 248

BILLBOARD:  Titanic Artifacts Exhibition Now Showing at the New Mexico Museum of Natural History

TWO TRAVELLERS:  (In unison) Holy crap did you just see that??  In Albuquerque??  Google it!!  Lets go!!

// END SCENE //

So we went.  The traveling Titanic Artifact Exhibition focused on the "human, personal stories" of the Titanic sinking.  While there was a lot left out from the entire Titanic story (having been a half-fanatic when I was 13), it was awesome seeing artifacts that had survived being under 13000 ft of water since 1912.  

As a side note...they handed out "Boarding Passes" when you enter the exhibit, actual people who were sailing on the Titanic and a little about their lives:  who they were and why they were traveling.  They then tell you at the end of the exhibit you can see a memorial of who survived and who was lost.  My boarding pass was from a woman traveling in third class to meet her husband who had immigrated to Chicago to find work.  Mom's boarding pass was from a woman traveling in first class returning from a European tour...guess which one of us survived?

The only proof we were here.  No pictures allowed inside.

Dinosaurs were not on the Titanic.  But they were in NM at one time 

This cracks me up:  The Albertosaurus is trying to eat her head, probably because she was laughing at his small arms
