Neverwinter :: Even angels loose their wings, eventually...

Having never been to Texas before, I had no idea what to expect. As I flew over the land, I was hard pressed to find any blue water whatsoever! Everything was brown, even the land! The sun had been hard at work for years and it showed!

This was a business trip, somehow I'd managed to wrangle 2 weeks in the US. I'm still trying to work out how I swung it! As usual, I left the cold waste of the UK behind and 10 hours later, landed in the heat of Texas, inappropriately dressed! You'd have thought I'd learnt this lesson by now! Not so. Stepped off the plane looking like Dr Death, head to foot in black and wondering why everyone was starring at me! At first I thought it was my attire, until I noticed the puddle of perspiration forming at my feet!

Despite having to work for 2 weeks, I still found time to get out and have a look around. Just don't do it on a Sunday! God is very popular in Houston and plays sell out gigs at the local churches on Sundays! Not much is open! Not many around either! Just the heathens that don't believe! I'm one of them!

Managed to suffer the entire Super Bowl while I was there! By the end of the third quarter, I'd managed to grasp the rules! Basically, if it moves, knock it over! I think the Broncos won, but it was all a bit of a blur with all the screaming and shouting and the Packers fans banging their heads against the nearest available vertical surface! Made for an entertaining sceptical, especially if your British and couldn't care one way or the other!

Tip of the day : Get a car! I didn't have one and was stuck on several occasions! Houston is BIG!
