I am only in Galveston for the week, and it is really historic (by Texan standards!). Why, the Galvez Hotel is over 100 years old, y'all, and the Tremont is one of the 100 Historic Hotels of America.
Houston, that concrete jungle of a place, is also a hot bed of the arts. The Houston Museum of Fine Arts is an AMAZING place, fabulous antiquities and tremendous impressionist gallery. I didn't see the rest of I would have been there all week. Ok, it is not of the standard of the National Gallery and British Museum in London, but it is definitely superior to the NGS, which I love.
The 'other attraction' Alan, is spending some time with my husband. He is at an off site meeting here all week, and it is a nice place for me to get some work done and then spend the evening with him and a bunch of his colleagues. Currently he seems to be home one week in three, if that, so it has been nice. I am flying back via Heathrow tomorrow though, on my own.
