Marfa Lights

From Big Bend, our next stop was Marfa, Texas to view the lights. An unusual town, with unusual history, that doesn't really offer a lot except on weekends.

We checked into the Tumble In through the self serve retro trailer in the middle of the desert.







Marfa has a special viewing area along the roadside just for the lights. Other travelers joined in to catch the mysterious lights that dance around in the distance appearing at dusk to dawn.


We saw nothing.

So here's a few photos of the full moon on our last night in Big Bend, so you are not as disappointed as I was.
.

One of the big draws in Marfa is the El Paisano Hotel. Georgeous hotel that has a history of hollywood visitors.












I guess Marfa is a big draw for movies the most famous being Giant with Elizabeth Taylor, rock Hudson and James Dean. Of course they all stayed at the El Paisano



































We decided to join the celebrity status with a margarita at the bar.

Even just outside of town are large billboard style murals of the stars.





















So our trip through Marfa was brief. Recommend only going on a weekend. 



Even though our stop was a bit empty you gotta give them credit for having a Prada store.


Cheryl you didn't miss much.
