Since Chris and I met in
Marfa, we decided to celebrate our one-year wedding anniversary with a trip there this past weekend. We
glamped at
El Cosmico the first night, then were at
Hotel Paisano the rest of our stay. We made side trips to
Big Bend and the
McDonald Observatory, to get our hiking and geeking on. We went to
Padre's (the site of our first encounter!). We ate at
Cochineal (amazing),
Fat Lyle's (the perfect break from our daylong
Chinati tour), and
Pizza Foundation (always a pleasure). We happened upon a show at
Ballroom Marfa where the lead singer of Animal Collective, a member of Dirty Projectors, and the drummer from Ponytail were, you know, just playing
music for free.
And we fell in love just a little bit more with the tiny town that plays such a huge role in our personal lore.
