The original plan had called for us to stop in Houston for the night.
It was already 5 p.m., and we'd been in the car off and on since 6:30
a.m. in Pensacola. The down side, though, was that in looking at
the map, we were going to fall behind schedule if we didn't press on to
San Antonio as a stopping point. Phooey; it's hard to take pictures
in the dark. Sadly, it was meant to be. As a result, the Houston
experience was limited, and the Enron Field visit was discarded, with
the regret that this would be about the last time the name would be visible
before the Houston Astros bought the name back after the Enron financial
fiasco and bankruptcy.
We thought we were already arriving when
we saw buildings -- alas, just a Budweiser plant.
The Houston downtown skyline. Impressive,
yes. And blurry; sorry.
Even Houston dwellers enjoy the great value
of Ikea furniture, it seems...
