Marfa: Stay- The Thunderbird

We are back from Marfa, a magical oasis of sophistication, art, and charm in the middle of West Texas.

It’s not close, but we had our excellent book on tape to entertain us. I highly highly recommend this book.

This is the first “fun” book I’ve read in a looooong time.

We picked up some peaches on our way out. The Texas Hill Country around Fredrickburg has the most delectable peaches.

Driving out, you see beautiful vistas.

And headed for The Thunderbird, a super cool revamped motel on the main drag. I drooled over the cacti planted.

The furniture inside was made by Garza Design Build, an exceptional local firm.

The grounds are wondrous.
