Points West – A Preface
My husband Steve & I decided over the last couple of years that instead of giving each other gifts for our respective birthdays, we’ll take long weekend trips around Texas. Because, well, we can.
For his birthday, we went to San Antonio. Did a lot of the usual tourist stuff and some not so usual.
If you’re a tourist, you gotta go here. Casa del Rio. San Antonio.
It’s always festive at Mi Tierra. Great hangover brunch.
For my birthday weekend, we’ve decided we’re heading out to far West Texas. Marfa and Big Bend. We’ve been there before for the Terlingua Chili Cook-Off (a highly recommended excursion).
Terlingua Chili Cook-Off. The Granddaddy of them all.
Just a few of the fine folks at the cook-off.

Like I’ve done with my trip to New York and New Jersey, I’ll be painstakingly documenting the sights and, yes, food, on this journey so I can share it when we return.
See y’all soon!
Looks like a fun trip! Enjoy, and happy birthday to you!
