After T or C, we did a really long day of driving through West Texas to a small arty town called Marfa. We saw a mock Prada shop on the way, in the middle of nowhere!
We had our first Texan BBQ in big bend and found these amusing stools in a ghost town, Telingua, near the park.
We really liked Marfa, there were lots of galleries, people were really friendly and welcoming and the food we had was great. We went to a star party at McDonald observatory, the host gave us a tour of the constellations using a massive laser and we used telescopes to look at stars, including Orion's Belt and Jupiter with its rings.
We drove through Big Bend National Park via Route 170 (top 10 drives in USA) which was scenic, but the river going through the middle of the park is the border with Mexico, so we weren't quite sure how Trump's wall would work!
