Truth, Consequences and west Texas

Don't worry, we also had time for some vacations. For our anniversary we made our way through strange and sinister southern New Mexico to Truth or Consequences, home to many hot springs and serious relaxation.

Desolate downtown T or C.


















Happily ever after.



















    
Dude.


Then, in June, we ventured even further south. Through El Paso and the desolation of west Texas to Marfa, TX, adopted hometown of minimalist sculptor Donald Judd. Marfa is a weird, beautiful place, an oasis of art, great food and great people in the middle of the desert.

Judd's untitled work in mill aluminum, at the Chinati foundation in Marfa. We did not take this photo.



Didn't take this one either. Judd's concrete boxes at the Chinati foundation.
































Downtown Marfa.


















The view from our patio (that's right) at the Paisano Hotel in Marfa. I covet that van.


















At the beer garden in Marfa. In this photo I am looking at a very loud, tailless parrot.
