Well we went looking for dinner and a bar in Houston last night and found a lot more than we had bargained for. The evening started at the Flying Saucer, a great bar/restaurant in the city, followed by a dive bar with pool tables and then on route back to the hotel, we discovered a fantastic place playing live 80’s music. The evening was certainly entertaining not to mention the copious quantity of beer to match so this morning was a very very slow start out of Houston.
My overall impression of Houston is that I am really impressed with the city. It is vast when travelling through it and being a real estate guy, I was super impressed with the architectural diversity of what all those oil dollars have built!
Today was fortunately a short ride of some 300km to San Antonio and we only got going after lunch when the prospects of afternoon thundershowers had dramatically increased. The weather did not disappoint as we were caught in numerous little showers on route, and one massive one just before arrival in San Antonio.
The days ride..
We checked into a fantastic hotel right on the river where there is a whole lot of life and restaurants and although we went out for a quick dinner, it was a demure evening by comparison. Tomorrow we have a very long 650km ride to Marfa so its early to bed.
