| Eveything's big in Texas! The night before we visited Marfa we stayed in another middle-of-nowhere town called Ozona. We got to Ozona on a Saturday and started our stay by walking around this historic town. Ozona's claim to fame is the Davy Crocket Museum. We walked for about 30 minutes and did not see more than 2 or 3 people. All the businesses were closed or out of business. It was weird.... The houses were well kept and the lawns perfect but there was no one around. There were NO grocery stores and we hadn't shopped before we got there so we had to go out to dinner and the dinner choices were Dairy Queen, Sonic Burger or the Hitching Post. At least the Hitching Post had a salad bar, so we went there. (The woman at check-in said "You go down to the next light, take a right and then a left." So we decided to walk 'cuz it was a small town. She neglected to mention that the Hitching Post was about a mile out of town making it a round trip of about 3 miles. It totally creeped Cork and Lily out walk that far in this deserted town. For some reason it didn't bother me as much.) At dinner we ordered a side of onion rings. Yup, this is a Texas sized "side"! |
