Well while in Houston, I met all my friends - the hospitality of Sylvia, my longtime friend from Saudi now living in Austin with husband was overwhelming. While I had been to Austin several times before Eugene and William were on their first trip. Sylvia took us to San Antonio to visit the Missions and Alamo. We had a good time in Austin. While there I visited my long time work colleague friend Greg Schildgen and his wife. That evening was their daughter's engagement party and her parents not knowing any of the to-be-bride's friends, were happy to have us around. So the whole evening we caught up with all the news of the last seven years of our retirement.
In Houston we met with Tom Mickelson, John March, Bill Coker, Norma Coker all our Saudi friends for lunch at the Spaghetti Warehouse in downtown Houston. My order of meatballs was just awful. Eugene's lasagne was good and so also what the others orders. Anyway it was a good meeting and we enjoyed the company. Bill and Norma were very helpful to us and accompanied us on our trip to downtown on the train. It was a good experience.
We met Tibby Booth about an hour away from Houston downtown and while there we shopped at the 99 cents store as Tibby does not shop anywhere else. We got quite a few things and they are all good for daily use. The only friend I could not meet was Rudy Richardson as he was on a trip to Singapore on business.
We visited Galveston, Kemah Boardwalk, The Woodlands and all the malls.
Thats all for Houston for now.....until my next trip.
