Couple of weekends ago, me and a few friends made a trip to Big Bend National park. It is the only national park in Texas (for the size of Texas I think it should host a few more parks:)). All thanks to MK and his the persistence, the trip finally happened. Initially we thought we will have seven or eight people but we ended up with six people, enough to fit into a minivan.
Day 1 we started at ~3:30PM, almost per the plan. The drive was nice, coasting at 80+ miles/hr along the straight roads of west Texas. We made a stop at Fort Stockton for food at the Pizza Hut and continued our drive to Marathon,TX for the night stay. The place in Marathon called Adobe Rose Inn was a bed and breakfast place, It was a struggle to find that place even with the GPS. We had booked what was called the Garden Suite with 2 adjoining rooms. One room with a local fire place was taken up by girls and guys took the room with bunk bed. The place had an artistic touch to it, it had paintings and carvings from lot of places around the world (Africa, South America, India, Nepal) and a collection of wide variety of books arranged artistically all over the suite. Since we had reached the place at ~11:20PM we just crashed for the night. The breakfast next day was provided by the Inn and it was also nice.
