Our first night there was spent on Main Street in good ol Vanpira. We got into town at about 11, and there wasn't a soul to be seen nor any lights on at all.
We woke up in the morning and loved what we saw
We had to stop and do our laundry, but in Marfa, even the laundromat is cool.
This was our first stop outside of the humidity zone, and it was glorious. We took this chance to take a walk around town
The Food Shark is a giant bus that serves delicious food, like Marfalafels. Unfortunately they were on vacation when we were there :(
We got giant horchatas and delicious tacos at Tacos del Norte on our way outta town to see the art installation Prada Marfa.
The clouds on the way there were amazing.
Prada Marfa is an installation by Elmgreen and Dragset, which is a Prada store in the middle of the desert with handbags and shoes in it. It's supposed to just melt back into the landscape as it ages, but because we have bad luck, it was empty and being cleaned when we were there.
Two thumbs down!
We saw this border patrol blimp on our way back!
That night, we stayed in Hotel Paisano, where James Dean, Elizabeth Taylor, Rock Hudson and crew stayed while filming Giant. The best part? We got to catch the True Blood premiere. YEEEAAAHH! More on Marfa to come...
