BBNP (big bend national park)

Ah. After a quick day of work on Wednesday (ash) it was off to the adventures of West Texas. Tomas picked me up from school. We headed to Hobby Airport and we were off. We landed in El Paso and found our long lost friend Ashley (former JV) and now teaches in NYC. 

We picked up our rental car.... DODGE CHARGER. And headed to Fort Davis where we had reserved a campsite. 

There we met a strange man, some of us liked him more than others. Needles to say, he was a talker AND a hoarder. It is hard to say which was more interesting about him. 

After a LONG chat with him, we went to see the Marfa lights... the way he described it was an opportunity to experience something that cannot be explained!!! ALIENS! or not!

I took a picture of the actual lights but it didn't come out well and/or aliens intercepted the image.

Our home for the first night. In the end this place really had NO ONE tent camping, just a bunch of trailers.

Excited... Ready to go!

Friends.

We went to the McDonalad Observatory but the POWER went out!! Because it was SO windy (you can kind of tell from the picture, eh)!

One of my favorite photos from the trip... I loved the windy roads.

We finally made it! And then we climbed up the sign.

The WINDOW trail was just a hop away from us. It was the first hike we did following our long car ride! It was just gorgeous. And HOW NEAT are those stairs?

This is the view from the window trail. This photo doesn't do it justice AT ALL. Just past the rocks is a drop off and the red-ish mountains are way off in the distance.

This was the view from our campsite. I am not kidding. I am working on a painting/variation of this image! I love it when trips generate new art exploration..

This guy is a STUD!

Gotta LOVE these winding roads!

This is at Boquillas canyon which is near where a border crossing will open in April!

All in all it was a BEAUTIFUL trip!
