When we first moved to Houston, I wasn't a big fan. It was dirty, crowded, industrial and to top it all off hot and incredibly humid. Granted, as the fourth largest city in the US, Houston was the largest city I'd ever lived in and my first experience in actual downtown Houston was a weekend mission trip serving in the poorest parts of the city. While this was a wonderful experience and I'd do it again in a heartbeat, it meant that my first impression of Houston was not the prettiest.
Having done some more traveling I've come to see that the whole dirty crowded and industrial thing is just part of city life and hot is pretty much synonymous with Texas in the summer. Humidity on the other hand is horrible and definitely a characteristic of Houston
First impression aside, it didn't take long for this city to win my heart. So when two of my best friends came to visit, I couldn't wait to show it to them!
The thing I love most about Houston, is that the best parts aren't easy to find. You kind of need to already know where they are because there aren't any giant signs or guidebooks to tell you where to look or where to go.
Actually that's not entirely true. Houston Downtown made this really cool audio tour (I know I know that's sounds lame, but trust me it really is pretty awesome) that takes you to all the hidden gems of downtown H-Town.
