Before starting the road trip to Marfa I reconciled that there will be no sushi in my diet for the next 4 days.

Being a bit of a geology geek I loved the McDonald Observatory.  

McDonald Observatory is in the Davis Mountains just North of Marfa, TX.  They have several programs day and night offering a wonderful opportunity to view the stars and ask astronomers…More »

Stone Village is a lovely little convenient store providing locally grown veggies and fruit, lots of organic goods and great selection of wine and beer.  The shelves are aligned much like Whole Foods but at a much smaller scale (the size of a 7/11).…More »

The cashier behind the desk at Marfa Book Co. is more than just an American Apparel clad hipster, he is also the owner.  He didn't seem to mind that every 2 minutes someone walked through his doors simply to ask for directions nor did he mind that…More »

Pizza Foundation is a counter order pizza joint set up inside an old service station.  I went during lunch and it was very busy with locals and tourists alike.  They surprisingly have some great wines sold by the bottle or 1/2 bottle.  They also have…More »

I stayed at Holland Hotel on my way to Marfa.  I chose Holland as it was the only place in Alpine that had a bar within walking distance, much needed after a 7 hour drive.

The staff is friendly and the lobby is warm and inviting.  Couches, chairs with…More »
