Day 7 (Houston): Food, folks and fun.

Yesterday we explored Hermann park.  We then bought a CityPass and headed to the Houston Museum of Natural History.  (Travel note: always check if the museum has a free day before you spend money on a pass.)

Last night we visited a Chipolte-esque Mexican burrito and bowl restaurant.  We followed it up with a Texas Pecan Porter at the original Ginger an (same original owner as the one in NYC).

This morning we had breakfast at the Breakfast Klub.  This restaurant got 4.5 stars on Yelp and deserved it.  We agree that this has been the best breakfast of the trip.  Chicken wings and waffles.  Green eggs (spinach and bell peppers) and ham (with grits).

As we drive to the NASA Space Center this morning, we realize that this is not a dense city.  Everything is spread out, yet this is the fourth largest city in America.

(Technical note: the Motorola Xoom comes with many built in restrictions that are bothersome.  It (purposely?) lacks the capability to teather to mobile Internet via ad-hoc hotspots and via Bluetooth.  Companies should put customers before their aspirations to sell expensive data plans.)
