And the ceiling is very ornate painted, and there's some symbols that at first glance kind of look like the N*** symbol, but they're actually a Native American symbol called they were referred to as rolling logs. Is that correct, Anne? That's correct, yes. Do you know who painted the ceiling? Yes. Pop Schaefer when he built that hotel. That particular part, I think, was built in 1923. Okay. Who painted that? Do you know? Pop Schaefer

Hi, guys. JP. I just wanted to post a picture and the website link for the Spanish missions that we referred to in this swell talk. The mission pictured here was built in the 16 hundreds. The Spanish conquistadors, basically, as well as missionaries, came into what is now New Mexico in the late 15 hundreds, early 16 hundreds. This particular mission here was built probably around 1620 Ad

And it symbolized good luck or protection. It's commonly referred to as rolling logs or falling logs. So I just wanted you guys to get an idea of what I was talking about, and you'll see them, among other symbols, inside the motel, hotel, on the ceiling, and on the ceiling, they're painted. All of the symbols are painted in very vibrant colors. So let's just kind of give you a better idea what I was talking about, okay?
