Houston....

I spent the last week in Houston on business. This is my third trip to Houston and I always come away underwhelmed. It has to be the hottest place in the country when you factor in the humidity. (Florida is hot as well but there seems to be enough of a breeze there to mitigate the heat.) This is coming from someone who has spent most of his adult life living in the 'deep' south and knows what heat and humidity mean! I went out Geocaching on tuesday evening and then went over to the Houston Temple to take some pictures. I did two caches, then quit because I was burning up. Then went to Dinner for an hour to cool down and then went to take the pictures. It was so hot and muggy after the sun went down that I had to quit taking pictures because I was so miserable. Having said all that Houston has some of the best seafood that I have ever eaten. I went to a mexican place and had Scallops fajita style and they were amazing. Another night I went to Laundry's seafood house which is my favorite place in the world to have seafood. This is a gulf coast chain but it is good eating! On the plane ride home yesterday I sat next to a Delta flight attendent who lives in Houston. She says she loves living there. The thought I kept to myself was 'sure, because you get to leave every week!'

Anyway here are the pictures I took:

This is the Houston Temple. It is a very beautiful building. I hope they have good Air conditioning inside!

This is the first cache I found. It was right next to the freeway. It is by far the most 'urban' cache I have ever found. You can see the cache next to the pampas grass on the ground. It is the first cache I have ever found that was painted purple with pink lettering on it!
