Murphy Street Raspa Company : Alpine, Tx

On Monday of spring break, I got up at five am to get on the road for the long drive to Alpine, Tx. My good friend from high school, Cristina and her husband, Vic have a store near the main street called Murphy Street Raspa Company. It's a cute little storefront (the building has been around since 1903!) and the raspas and ice cream are fantastic!




This is Bob Bell, a local artist in Alpine and a fixture at the MSRC. He's quite a character, and always quick with a joke or interesting tale. And yes, that is a pith helmet. he says it protects you from the jungle, and since there isn't a jungle anywhere near here, it must be working.

To say Bob Bell is a character is an understatment would be inadequate- more like a walking one-man cirque de soleil
