Sitting on a cushioned chair instead of a small bike seat, and
relaxing in the camp lounge – how good can it get? Time was spent catching up on personal email
and blogs, and just wasting time and enjoying doing so. Hardly went to the tent all today, and can’t
say it was missed. Many of us went to
town, a mile or two away, and had a breakfast or lunch or both. Now, several of the group are relaxing and
waiting for dinner time to roll around.
We met a man in the camp lounge that came to Marfa from Chicago
just to attend the Chinati celebration, a three day event celebrating Chinati,
who brought art to this area and put it on the map. We arrived just in time for the first day of
the event. Apparently many of the art galleries
along the main strip are offering free food from 5 to 8. Sounds like a plan for dinner. Riding around the art district did not turn
up any significant amount of food – sorry, we are powered by food not art. One of the galleries did have free margaritas,
and after two, we asked the server for a place she would recommend for
dinner. Mando’s was her answer. It turned out to be a very nice place, with
great food, and a place that the locals eat at, not the tourists. It is now late enough to go to our tent and
sleep.
