MARFA, TEXAS Part 2.






1. G. & G. lounging in front of Marfa's excellent bookstore. I'm going to start a collection of these 2 boys lounging together all over...so far I have them in Cozumel and in front of the Ft. Davis Old Fort Country store. They do it well don't you think?
These other pictures are of the Hotel Paisano in Marfa. Jamey and I went there last summer and stayed one night in a lovely room with a huge balcony that overlooked the courtyard. It was built in 1930 and for the first 40 years was primarily used by ranchers who bought and sold cattle with each other in the hotel lobby. In 1955 the cast and crew of the movie "GIANT" (starring Elizabeth Taylor and James Dean) stayed there. It closed in 1970 and reopened in 2004 with 33 lovely rooms and suites.

5. G. & G. checking out the GIANT memorabilia room.
