I am completely infatuated with West Texas. It is so beautiful! Completely different kind of beautiful from Vermont. It felt so amazing to be away from the city and be surrounded with delicious nature. I feel refreshed!

Check out that font/signage. They had this all over. Too cool.

Claudia, Cris, and Ted. Sweet people sweet photo.

Beautiful Ayumi!
This is Chinati! What a place. There are a ton of these in a field in Marfa, Tx and each one is framing something.
Finger lickin’ good!
We stayed at Prude Ranch, 30 minutes or so away from Marfa. It was so beautiful, too! I wish that I had taken pictures of our cabin, it was so fun. I loved being there. Not to mention they had a great souvenir shop, big selection
Epic.
At Chinati they had art installations that were neon fluorescent lights in long rectangle rooms. Really really neat.
I listened to a lot of Patty Griffin on the bus.
I want to go back to Marfa so badly! I’m thinking spring break might be perfect.
I am so sad to learn that Leslie Cochran (the famous cross dressing sweetheart man) had a stroke and will be forever affected! They say he wont be able to live on the streets anymore. However I am so happy that he and I became friends this summer! He came into Cissi’s Market everyday so we got to be good friends. It doesn’t surprise me that his health failed him though because he is drunk all of the time. But he has a good nature, he is very funny, friendly and optimistic. I think he had a little crush on me! Or he is just very very flirtatious! At the end of the summer I went to Cissi’s one last time and he was there, but he hadn’t seen me. I was about to leave then I went back in because I wanted to say goodbye for now to him. He kissed my hand and asked if I wanted his phone number so I could call him when I get back to town. I assured him that I would see him around.
Oy. He will recover! Put him in your thoughts!
I met an amazing person this weekend! I love meeting special people that shake my world! He is very inspiring, just the person I needed and wanted to meet.
Being happy is so breezy.
Here is Sophie and I. This is what we wore to a college party. Ha ha ha ha ha! Amazing.
Ok. Goodnight. I LOVE YOU!
