houston | Craft On The Run

Today we headed into the city to find the Hard Rock Cafe, so I could get me glass for the collection. We arrived to find that it was closed, so we decided to head to the nearest parking lot and take a look around.

I had read about some tunnels. So I wanted to check them out. We parked the car and headed towards them. These tunnels connect to the streets of central houston. You can travel from one end of the city to the other, exiting at certain points of interest. These tunnels are 20ft below ground and air conditioned. Dave and I walked for a while and didn’t even realise where we had gotten too. So we certainly got our exercise for the day. We hopped on the free bus and did the circuit and then continued back to the car.

some of the amazing art works around the city

We stopped at Appleby’s. It was cool. Great food. Love the chicken wings. The server Bobby was cool. She got Dave’s humour. So funny. She had a comeback for him every time. He thought it was fantastic. She kept hanging around just to talk to us, so she could hear our accent.

We didn’t stop in town for long as we wanted to get on the road and head towards New Orleans. We have made it as far as a place called Lafayette .

Tomorrow we head to New Orleans. I am extremely tired and need to get to bed. More updates tomorrow.

Well today was not a great day. We spent nearly 3 hours driving around the twist and turns of the Dallas highways, trying to find a particular shop I had seen yesterday. It was an unclaimed baggage place. Do you think we could find it…not a chance. Kind of wish we had gone there on the way home yesterday, even if it was just to get an address.

Which side of the road do I drive on??

Well I certainly heard about not being able to find it. Dave made sure of it. In the end we just decided to cut our losses and tackle the highways and just head south to Houston. Dave decided that he had had enough and gave the keys to me and told me good luck with it. So I took over for about 1.5 hours. Mind you I let him know how it felt to sit in the passenger seat.

The tension was raised a few notches and a few words were mutted but eventually we got it sorted and managed to get out of the rat race and back to some sanity. This road trip is certainly testing our sanity, but I wouldn’t have it any other way…it just makes our love for each other stronger and lets just say the making up is pretty good too!!
