Houston 10-15 Dec

My first taste of Texas. I was expecting BIG everything - the stereotypical Texan cowboy with big words. But I never saw that. Nobody I spoke with - from hotel clerks to mall staff, nobody even had a Southern drawl. No cowboys nor boots with spurs too. Hmmm... It just looked very US.

Eve had me all setup in a great hotel - Homewood Suites and a car. But I was feeling sick before I left & worse by the time I arrived at midnight. Decided the safest thing was - shuttle. Thankfully Benoit from EMEA was staying at the same hotel, so I managed to get free rides around. Plus the Frenchies were a pretty entertaining lot.

The best part about the hotel - next door to Willowbrook Mall. Got my Christmas shopping done :)
