The plan was to go to the zoo. Drove all the way to Houston to get stuck in traffic in attempt to find parking at the zoo. We saw the entrance to the zoo but could never find any parking. There was a huge amount of traffic, road construction and everyone and their mother, father and extended family wanted to visit the zoo. All of these things combined made downtown Houston an absolute nightmare. After about 3 hours in the car including the drive to Houston we decided that it wasn’t meant for use to go to the zoo.
Instead we stopped at this ghetto Wendy’s, a very shady part of town. To use the restroom at 3 pm we had to get the restroom key. And then I couldn’t get the door to close. So I just peed with the door open, well partially open – closed enough that no one could see me. It was rather strange and amusing. The trip to Houston and time spent in the car will not soon be forgotten.

Instead of giving up on the Houston mission we found a shopping area called the Woodlands in north Houston. It was a very nice area of town. Ate a place called Grilled Fish on the patio. Had some awesome margaritas.
After dinner we went to Barnes and Noble, which provided to be a very interesting trip to the bookstore. First, Inpane got in the elevator with me and told be how wonderful the elevator would be to have sex with someone in it. As he was saying this, the door was closing so there was no escape. A very awkward moment followed. The second event of the evening was when we were leaving the store there was a red head cashier. Marc was walking up to pay for his book, and noticed the redhead. He then heard Inpane say “Good God” and associated this red head. The four of us joked about this until the end of the trip.
