Houston

We're in Houston, Texas. A long flight with much complaining and gnashing of teeth, but we are here. I have pictures to post as I gave bdo the camera to keep her quiet for a bit on the flight from Newark to Houston. I will the post pictures later when we get back from Friday night dinner. The shower here is still one of the best in the world.

It's now 2:50am, the boy and I are up jetlagging. He has polished off two frozen breakfast burritos and is looking to spend some early morning hours catching up on some Amurrican TV. I am posting some of bdo's pictures.

This is sunrise over Newark Liberty International Airport. This is the view from the Terminal C, gate 120.
Mother and son after a 12 hour flight and 357 movie choices. Both looking forward to another 4 plus hours on a plane to Houston. Someone actually lost a cat on the flight and as we were taxiing to take off, the flight attendant walked around trying to find who's cat it was. The owner was asleep, so it took 10 minutes of confusion to get it all sorted.

"Is this heaven?" they asked. "No, it's Taco Bell". These two have been waiting four years for this. We stopped in the on way out of the airport for a quick snack. Of course, the first round had meat in all the burritos, so bwo had to go back in and get them to fix it.
The ex-Transco tower, now Marathon Oil tower, outside the grandmother's retirement community. This picture is taken from the valet parking area - which should explain a lot.

There will be more.
