Houston, I love your parks, trees, murals, sculptures and mosaics. Lots of beautiful old buildings, and some cool new ones too. Spotted one gecko, turtles, an eel like creature, and one squirrel. We spent the day wandering a few blocks either way from hotel, with siesta mid afternoon. Coming back from Discovery Green we happened upon a pub with a live band playing great foot tapping music and had a beauty steak dinner. Lucky we are carnivores at heart, as we'd had BBQ brisket sandwiches for lunch in the underground Foodcourt! (there are offices, shops and walkways underground here)
