Day 229. March 23, 2014. Our anniversary!

LOCATION:  Another day in Marfa, in SW Texas, 50 miles north of Mexico
WEATHER:  Much cooler.  High about 50.  Super windy

George was doing some computer work, and a reminder popped up that it is our anniversary.  We had both totally forgotten!

Trains go through here all the time, very near our campground.  You can see some tumbleweeds


We toured more of the art installations in town.  An artist/architect bought an old army base outside of town, and built these artistic blocks around the grounds.  The former barracks are now homes for artists in residence.

These are some of the food options in town...
Or these Aiir Streams that are now food trucks and shops

For our anniversary dinner, we went out for pizza.  The restaurant is in an old gas station, with the other half an art gallery.  We had a white pizza with spinach, jalapeño, ricotta and mozzarella.  The clientele was interesting to watch...a big Mexican family get-together with 3 or 4 generations, some wealthy looking ranchers, some funky looking artists, and of course us tourists.

Back at the campground, here is the registration office.

  2. Happy Anniversary! I have the same question as Martha and Leo! Why no Food Shark? You must at least try it. You can have Spam anytime.
