The Journey

​Being a compendium of thoughts as we drive and drive and....

marfa... but first!

​On our way to Marfa, we went up to Fort Davis to visit the McDonald Observatory (https://mcdonaldobservatory.org/about), a very cool place. The big telescope wasn't open but it is incredibly important historically. The Hobby Eberly is an unusual telescope – see the interior photo - that has been updated to be a leading resource for research into Dark Energy (https://hetdex.org).

​Our home for three nights in Marfa is a “Modern Mini” AirBnB just a half block from the main drag. It seems brand new and utterly charming. Thoughtful hosts left chilled sparking wine, chocolate, nuts, and cold drinks.

​We will have a better sense of the town after tomorrow’s perambulations and visits to Chinati and the Judd Foundation the following two days. But it is a little weird to go from a dusty ghost town to what is really trying to be a contemporary art mecca… with a historic courthouse dominating the center of town. We certainly have no expectations of finding a tacky spoon rest.
