That first night we reserved a wood-fired, barrel-like hot tub. We opted for
moonlight and naked bodies. We’ve been friends for a quarter of a century and
this wasn’t our first time in a hot tub together in our birthday suits. The steam

rose above the tub and the moon peeked through as we sipped our wine in the
darkness. It felt good to be together. No men.

In the morning, while everyone was asleep, I headed over to Marfa Burrito. It
was a little house. Inside, Mexican decorations and pictures of Matthew
McConaughey covered the wood-paneled walls. A fuchsia poster board listed five

burrito choices, including egg and chorizo, bean and cheese and my personal
favorite, the Primo, stuffed with beans, potatoes, onions, tomatoes, salsa and

cheese, for only $6.50.
