A quick flight from Austin, and we are in our final destination, Houston. It is about a half hour drive from the airport to our downtown hotel. As in Austin, it is extremely hot, with 35 degrees the expected high.
We go for a wander to find some lunch, and the downtown streets are quiet. With limited activities in the local area, we catch a tram to the Natural Science Museum. Quite an eye opener, as lots of homeless people in the downtown area, with quite a few getting on and off the tram.
The museum itself is interesting, with a live butterfly area, and some interesting jewellery and mineral displays. Then the tram back to the Main Station, and some “interesting” local sights. We are pleased we are spending too much time in Houston. First impressions are not great
