Add one to the list...

I've added another city to my list of travels. Houston. Arrived late last night (well technically this morning) after watching the most intense lightnight storm I've seen in my life. There was never a moment without lightning. Amazing.

Anyway, got through the airport, rented my car, and made it over to Nevin's hotel. This morning we were on the road before noon to head down to Galveston. It's a town on the Gulf Coast and is actually on an island. Walked up and down the sidewalk along the beach until we started to burn (which was about 5 minutes). Enjoyed margaritas and calamari at Willy G's. It's not quite the ocean view you might imagine though. This is the area where many of the offshore rigs get towed in to have maintenance done. There were jack up rigs and ships and even an older rig that has been turned into a museum.

I was able to get in contact with a couple of other Conoco people that are down for the same course as me. We met in town at the Minute Maid Stadium for an Astros game. They beat the Seattle Mariners 9-4. Great game, only had the traffic leave the stadium to complain about.

Can't say much more. Got home and soaked in the hot tub so I'm completely worn out and need another solid sleep. Looking forward to the next two weeks.
