Day 27: 1 April in Downtown Houston

For my first morning in Houston, I spent some time booking buses and accommodation for the next couple of weeks. I really didn't want to be stuck again as I was having trouble finding available places in New Orleans; my next stop.

I then headed to downtown Houston where I had Whataburger, something that was recommended to me by a few people. While it was very nice, it wasn't something to rave over (sorry guys!). By this point, the day had turned grey and rainy! I decided to head down to the Galleria, a BIG and fancy shopping mall. After a bit of window shopping and trying on way too many clothes, I headed back to the hostel.

Back at the hostel, I met Thomas and Jimmy while exploring the big house. That hostel was having a Taco, Wine and Brownie night (best $6 I ever spent!) so we all indulged in a few glasses or so. We then decided drinking games were the way to go. We played a favourite of mine, Asshole, though the American rules differed slightly. We then played Spoons (the drinking game). Because Spoons is an hilarious game to play, a lot of other people having dinner decided to come join us, including Eline and Nathalie from the Netherlands. After a few rounds of intense Spoons, it was time for a bottle-o run, where more wine ensued.

We stayed up pretty late in the end, talking, laughing and jumping in the (very cold) pool - totally against the rules! It was a fantastic night with amazing people!
