So I just got back from meetings in Houston and there's not much really to say or any pictures for that matter. They had a nice mall.... that was about it. And if you've seen one mall, you've seen them all. Basically, there was an "indoor" mall right next to an "outdoor" mall, but near the indoor mall there was a man made river. The area was called the Woodlands and it was very nice looking with a bunch of trees and that man made river by the mall and all, but with the heat and humidity of Texas added in. I guess they are opening a Ferrari dealership somewhere nearby, but when I checked on housing prices on Zillow.com, the nearby houses were going for $150k. Not sure what's going on there.
The hotel I stayed in - Hotel Sofitel - was nice and had a huge mural painted in the common area. They had a gift shop where they sold french pastries and french sparkling lemonade. Plus, all of the travelers spent a lot of time just hanging out in that common area which was very European of them. Plus I heard a lot of different accents. I'm pretty sure the hotel chain is french and it was kind of nice to be reminded of France, except that the hotel rooms were bigger in THIS french hotel. Well, you know what they say about Texas. My first day I got there early enough to hang out by the pool for a while and enjoy my apricot soleil. It's basically a buttery croissant circle with sweet apricot preserves in the middle. It looks like an edible little sun. Mmmmm, delicious!
Since there wasn't much to do in Houston, I was pretty happy to get back home, whereby, Jennifer, Robyn, Jeff and I went to Bobby Q's last night. It's this fantastic BBQ joint off the I-17 where the old Bobby McGee's used to be. Best BBQ and macaroni & cheese EVER! And I usually only like Kraft. Go figure. Sorry no pics from this trip, but I'm headed to Montana on Monday so look for some good ones from Big Sky Country when I return. Ciao!
