Amos and I finally got to stay and explore Marfa, Texas. Marfa has been on my radar for quite some time, but I could never find the time or justify the long drive out there. I got assigned some work in Odessa, Texas, which is about 2.5 hours away from Marfa. I thought I would take that opportunity and knock out two birds with one stone, which is what Amos and I ended up doing in the beginning of February. We also used this excuse as a Valentine's weekend getaway. We flew into Odessa on a Thursday, spent the day there for work, then drove out in the afternoon and arrived in Marfa around 5 pm. We checked into our digs and drove straight out to the Prada Marfa store art installation. It is about an hour outside of Marfa in Valentine, TX. Over the next few days we ate and saw a lot and headed out early on Sunday to catch our flight out of Odessa. Below is where we stayed, where we ate and drank, and what we saw during our time. Most places are closed Monday-Wednesday so if you are going to visit I would go during the times we did Thursday-Sunday. Another fun activity that Amos and I did just happened to fall on the weekend we went; the small town Valentine had a Valentine's Day get-together for everyone, where we saw all the locals gather for live music, food, and company of friends all under the night sky. It was magical and such a unique experience I will never forget. I hope you enjoy the recommendations and pictures.
