Welcome to Casa Cielo, Marfa Texas!

Casa Cielo Marfa is our little vacation house in Marfa, Texas. David and I bought the house at the end of 2009 with the intent of spending much time in the area. It is also available for short-term rental during times when we are not using the house. We list it on VRBO.com. We have a direct website as well, at DiscoverMarfa.com.

Marfa is a fascinating place, full of great things to see, do and eat. It is a city of approximately 2,000 people in Far West Texas. Marfa is known for its art, music and great restaurants. Aside from being a great destination in its own rite, it is a great home base for visiting Big Bend (both the state and national parks), as well as the many other state parks in the area.

I hope you enjoy my views (and reviews) as we discover this wonderful area. Please feel free to add your own thoughts. Comments are most welcome!

Lunch at Squeeze Marfa



We finally had lunch at Squeeze Marfa. It was really good. I mean really!

David had the Italian sandwich, which is fresh mozzarella, spinach, tomato and basil pesto spread. I had the half soup and half sandwich with the soup being potato jalapeno. I could not resist the soup (which was lighter than expected, and perfect for lunch), but which sandwich half to choose? I settled on the Texan, with roast beef, cheese, tomato, spinach, mayonnaise and mustard (and plenty of the the mustard).

What a delicious lunch. Seriously, the photo does not do it justice. In the photo, the food looks so neat and tidy, but it was definitely big and sloppy on flavor. And, the service was excellent.

Also at Squeeze Marfa: Vollenweider Swiss chocolate. I bought a bar of 65% chocolate with red peppercorns. It was very good, but definitely a treat for me at $12.50 for a large bar (although we ended up sharing it back at the house with a great bottle of wine). There were other nice gift items in the store as well, unrelated to chocolate.

It's a tiny place worth finding. We will be finding it again soon.
