I went out for a walk around Hermann Park on Sunday. Saw my boss at the zoo with her daughter, and got to talk theatre with a volunteer costumer from some place called the Woodlands (evidently it is a suburb). It was a beautiful 75 degrees and life is good.
The Museum district here in Houston is really a wonderful area. I love the idea that all of the major museums are in one area of the city and it is even better that Hermann Park is right there. A museum (in my mind) is all about discovery and exploration. Whether it be art, history, animals, medical devices (at the museum of medical something or other), we all visit these places to discover or awaken a part of ourselves. What better time than this to go for a walk..?
Now I will admit to being a bit disappointed at the size of the Houston Zoo. For a city this size, I was expecting some thing much bigger. I grew up going to the St. Louis Zoo so my expectations may be a bit unfair. Having said that, the Houston Zoo is a beautiful place. The layout and design of the place is really nice and relaxing. The highlight of the visit (aside from the company), was the orangutan that had a small blanket covering his head that made him look like Yenta from "Fiddle on the Roof". I love animals...
Later I got shorn at a Sports Clips...you know, every six months whether I need it or not... then fell asleep watching the Super Bowl. A great weekend.
