Beer Bottle Chapel
![[bizarre_beerbottlechapel100_1107.jpg]](bizarre_beerbottlechapel100_1107.jpg)
Besides the fact that it's built out of bottles, this is also one of the most extensively decorated chapels I've seen. The interior is aglow with color, and the bottles themselves act as stained glass windown. But the wonders continue outside the chapel; every corner of Tio's Tacos' extensive patio area is crammed with oddities, so you can dine with someone creepy looking over your shoulder. It's all the work of folk artist Martin Sanchez, and it's all indescribably strange.
