Got into Houston about 5, picked up the car, (a lovely Hyundai Elantra) then headed to city. Within a few minutes we were giggling at stupid America roadside signs for saving your soul, giant burger offers and run down suburbia… The hotel is pretty good and shower was the best thing.

It’s fairly grey hot and steamy here, so off for a few ales, found a grungy bar called Dirt, had $3 well beers (they are bottles served from a well) it was only Pabst, not the best beer but it was ice cold and that was all what mattered. later headed to the house of Blues really cool place, Band playing, real nice staff, tasty lone Star beers and one of the tastiest meals I have ever had, a New Orleans  Jambalaya, sort of sausage and chicken rice dish with plenty of peppers and spice. Time to walk home and get some sleep… other than a few semi unconscious moments it’s been 26 hours on the go.
