Walk Around Houston/Galveston/San Antonio with Boris

I just got back from my trip to Texas and I have pictures for everyone! Yay!

Note: Some of these pics were taken from car windows and may be a bit blurry...view at your own risk...

Oh yeah, and 56K beware...guess it's too late now

Houston

Incorporated town of The Woodlands:

Anadarko Tower



Apparently this entire shopping area was built in the last year... I was impressed...











Near the Anadarko Tower...I should mention that that was probably the only real highrise for a good 10 miles...




Downtown:

Galleria (mall)


Walking Around Downtown Houston (a bit -- my travel was a little limited due to circumstances beyond my control...)



I thought that this was a little amusing...


Ate lunch...


More walking...





















Haha I am a madman posting all these pics I took. We should be around halfway now. Okay back to work...

Johnson Space Center (sp)





Papasitos... (sp)


Galveston

I REALLY liked this city

















The Beach was hot!





I thought these 2 were pretty representative of the types of homes you find in these hoods



2 More Houston Skyline Shots (I'll let you decide which one you like better!)



San Antonio

Sea World







Downtown

We didn't get to stay long in downtown San Antonio so after my brother and I grabbed some grub I had about a 10 minute shooting spree (from a car)...


...starting now!


The Alamo


More downtown







Arrghhhh! It's the Calgary Tower's ugly, long-lost twin!



Leaving San Antonio



Back to Houston

(Dreadnaught) USS Texas



Monument -- picture taken from the battleship


One more of the ship:


I will end my tour of Houston with a few pictures of the monument, including a vertical panorama!
