Before leaving Lajitas, I took some pictures of our hotel.
We ate several meals here. Beautiful views!
On our way to Marfa, we stopped by the Rio Grande (again). It was still pretty muddy, so we didn't get to go down to the river.
Don't cross the border. ;)

One of our first stops in Marfa was to a place called "El Cosmico." It was quite a unique experience. People make reservations to stay there - in teepees and tents and campers and trailers - and there are communal bathrooms and showers. We just toured around after checking into our own hotel back in Marfa.

We toured around the town of Marfa for a bit, too. We noticed this time capsule. So neat!
Walker and Ben stood awfully close to a train passing by.
We stayed at The Hotel Paisano. It is an older hotel, made famous for its role in accommodating the actors in the movie Giant.
Official blizzard delivery at Dairy Queen. :)
Walker was so excited. The rest of us got dipped cones that were AMAZING.
a visit to Marfa Lights
The lights were interesting. They blinked, they merged, they separated, they went on and off for minutes at a time. I'm glad we got to experience them!
