you can take houston........

i love this chair! i covet this chair! if anyone should have this chair it should be me. however it was not for sale nor would it fit in my suitcase. sigh!

so we are back from texas. and yes, everything IS bigger in texas. especially the food portions. oh my god! if i lived there i would be the size of a house! i was not able to finish anything that i ordered. and everything is artery clogging, fried and battered. i was tempted to try the twinkies but common sense prevailed.
i wasn't overly impressed with the city of houston. i like cities but it just didn't have a city vibe to it. although the art gallery was impressive.
loved galvaston!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! would like to go back and spend more time there. the architecture was historic and beautiful. full of tacky tourist shops, restaurants and interesting boutiques.
we were walking along the shore and i noticed something odd on the pier. it looked to me to be an abandoned wheel chair. as we got closer i noticed that a man was lying beside it. i thought the worst and headed over. when we got there i realized that he was just drunk and sleeping it off. sad. got to wondering if he was a war vet. he looked to be of an age for the vietnam war.

                                                   how sad is this?

                                                  and how glorious is this!
