A business trip took me to Houston Texas for four days (May 15th thru 18th). I got a chance to hike and bike around town. It was hot (in the 90s!) the whole week.
1- Parks
On Tuesday evening, I checked out the downtown parks and a bit of the
Buffalo Bayou.

2 - Union Station
On Wednesday

3 - Buffalo Bayou Biking
Thursday evening was still freaking hot (94 degrees at 6:20 pm!). I walked up to the
Bike Barn (just north of the Bayou) but found they were closed- BUMMER! Fortunately right nearby was a spot to rent a "City bike" - kind of clunker but still fun to ride. All the trails were paved and super easy.
I rode all the way to the Lost Pond end and then circled back all the way to the College where I rode into downtown on the Main Street Bridge.
I have some one-handed video footage of the bike ride -- I will add it here at a later date...
Going Home
Friday night - late! Flying into LaGuardia Airport - there's Manhattan!
