marfa kinda closes up shop mondays...and some places don't open again until wed...the coffee shop, the brown recluse - a shop run by big bend coffee raosters, is closed tuesdays and wednesdays...what the? the pizza joint is also closed those days...it's a ghost town until mid-week...the chinati foundation, the bq joint, the juice place, the book store...closed.so today, after having a nice south african/mexican breakfast and coffee (for me) and yogurt, fruit and tea (for shauna) we headed to fort davis to see what's there - answer: not much...but along the way we dropped by the airport to look at the gliders. the marfa gliders is a group that really does this sort of thing up right and were having a rally of some sort. it was a 200 dollar tab if we wanted to go up - each - so we passed...pretty cool though.
tonight was wine and pizza night but the wine we bought at the local grocer - actually open for business - was off (as in shitty..)...so, shauna went got the hotel bar and got a glass of wine for herself and a margarita for me...that and our new found fireplace - we had to switch rooms today because our other one was already booked and they moved us to a much nicer room...with a patio and an outdoor fireplace...lcd tv on the wall, a fancy LG remote control air conditioner, cd player/radio, fridge, etc....nice....all for the same price as our previous room - which was also a nice room.
tomorrow we're heading back towards el paso as we leave outta there wed. evening...off to phoenix (for our connecting flight...) and then to seattle...to pick-up the lawn order limo and outta there...we may stay in seattle but haven't decided yet...more as it develops.
