    Why) Pam has a fondness for unusual earrings and this seemed like a good place to look for some.  I also suspected I could find something interesting to look at.



























I forgot to take this picture of their entrance sign but I certainly would have. (2)








I don't know if Pam purchased any earrings but I liked the look and heft of this $86 brain coral. 
If I knew that I wouldn't break it during the rest of our trip then I probably would have purchased it.







I also liked this display of signs that I found on the shelf.
