First time in Houston

Well actually it's my first time in Texas all together and I must say, this city was not what I expected. Lol, someone told me that it was not country like the rest of Texas and was an actual city. That's a lie... it is just as country as every other part to me! It looks like a bigger Jacksonville with maybe four or five more sky scrapers. They even have a highway that circles the city just like 295 in Jacksonville. I know a lot of cities have those but it just put me even more in the mind of Jax. However, I still like the city. It's very nice, just not what I expected.

My day was pretty cool once I got here. I got to the airport at 11:30 this morning and didn't make it to Houston until about 5:15, so you know I was pretty sick of planes. I also was super hungry!! I was so glad to get to someones house and get something to eat. I went to meet my extended family this year and was very glad to do so. So far everyone is really cool and I like being around them all. The food that I got at the first house was not too good but when I went to the second it was awesome!!! I want some more right now actually, lol. I'm addicted to ham.

Im settled back in the hotel right now and just laying in the bed resting up. I guess I don't have much to talk about today because I spent so much time flying, lol. But I can tell you that it was a really good day once I got here and I like everyone I met so far. I look forward to another good day tomorrow and some good shopping! You know it's black Friday!

Don't let anything stop your journey... even yourself. As always my lovely people... remember the Alamo!
