We woke up on our final day in Marfa to amazing weather. Even though we had a six hour drive back to San Antonio, we found the ranch to be so relaxing that we decided to stay on premise till about 4:00 pm. I spent some time casually relaxing in the hammock outside our room before getting into the car to take a drive up the mountain passes to do some exploring. It was amazing to see all formations and wildlife (All though the donkey on ranch was still my fav, hahah) and we made several stops to check out caves and other notable historical spots. After driving down from the mountain we decided to go paddle boating on the lake and spent some relaxing time by the pool before enjoying a lunch of fried gulf shrimp salad and Mexican beer. Yum. It was very sad to leave such a gorgeous place after only one night. My parents actually wanted to stay another night but unfortunately I could not miss work. So we bid farewell to CCR with promises to return in the near future, only next time for longer.
On the way back to San Antonio we made a short pit stop at the famous El cosmico camp grounds. El cosmico is a plot of land created by Liz Lambert who is also the creator of the famous hotel Saint Cecilia in Austin. The site offers several brightly colored air streamers, tepees and safari tents for camping and also boasts an impressive gift shop where we stocked up on Marfa treasures including several bars of handmade "Marfa Brand" soap which is currently making my apartment smell heavenly. We got back to San Antonio around 10:00 pm which left me just enough time to grab taco cabana before falling asleep and catching a 4:00 am cab for my 6:00 am flight. God Bless Texas.
