Another strange Big Bend Town - Marfa

I am somewhat at a loss for words when it comes to describing Marfa.

The courthouse dominates the entrance to the town.

The Paisano Hotel is upscale. When we walked in I thought that we'd been teleported to Aspen, the prices were off the chart. Shops were empty, though. This is the area where they shot James Dean's last movie, Giant.

Moo. The Paisano has cattle hanging on the walls.

Across the street from the Paisano, I spotted an old 1950's style Porche convertible parked halfway into the entrance to a building. We walked inside. It's an old garage converted into an art gallery. One of the original car lifts lays there, retracted into the concrete floor. We talked a bit with the artist, who told us to walk into the back room, "there's more there". In the back were two more Porches and more than one dozen portraits of Abraham Lincoln hangin' on the walls. Spooky. Really.
