Everything is big in Texas. Hair, hats, boots, bowls of chili and my expense account.
I am going to be in Texas a lot in the next couple of weeks. I’m on my way to Houston today, flying to Austin tomorrow, then the week after I’m going to Dallas and back to Houston.

It was a quick fire but worthwhile work trip although our three hour delay in getting there on Tuesday evening made me realise that we should have planned to stay an extra day to squeeze a little more out of the trip.
Meals were generally restricted to grabbing a glass of wine and some bar food but we did eat lunch at what was described to me as an ‘interior Mexican’ restaurant. The menu was interesting and took a bit if studying without a nacho to be seen.

Right three weeks on this here rock and I’m off again, this time to Houston, Texas on a work trip until Thursday night. I visited Houston once before in 2008 to visit some friends who were living there at the time. As I alluded to then, Houston is such a huge sprawling city it is hard to get any sense for the place unless you spent a lot of time there, so a three-day work trip (including two days of travel) will not give me a lot more insight into the 600 sq. mile metropolis.
