Sneak peek...Eve's Garden

On the first and last night of our Thanksgiving trip to Big Bend, Eric and I stayed at Eve's Garden, an organic Bed-n-Breakfast. Kate and Clyde own this fabulous hacienda in the high mountain desert in west Texas, just 2 hours from Big Bend. It may seem like a long way away from Big Bend, but Marathon, TX is actually the closest town (if you can call it that...they only have 8 football players on their high school team) to Big Bend. Texas is a very, very large state. It was about 6 hours to the B&B and another 2 hours to Big Bend. All in all, an 8 hour trip.

As you can see the architecture is quite unique and Kate can sure cook up a rock'n breakfast. Every detail was attended to including the edible flower garnish. It actually inspired me to start cooking. I'm not committing myself yet. I just said inspired. I need to wait a few weeks to see if it wears off.

The hacienda is made of papercrete, a building material comprised of a mixture of Portland cement and recycled paper fiber — a light-weight, insulating concrete. Check out the website for more info. Click on the tabs for more photos.

Here's a few pics that I took so you can appreciate it's unique beauty in such a quaint, humble town. Eric was a little less then enthusiastic after the long drive. Please excuse his scowl.
