Since arriving in Houston, we’ve quickly discovered we have a strong network of support. Former volunteers and people connected to JVC are all over the Houston area and they have done a great job of showing us around the city. On our first weekend we visited the Menil Museum, which has a mixture of modern art and ancient artifacts. Then we walked around the neighborhood surrounding the museum. We also visited the Galleria Mall, which is probably one of the biggest malls I’ve ever seen. This weekend we got tickets to the Astros game and then hung out of Discovery Green, one of Houston’s many parks, and signed up for library cards at the public library. As the fourth largest city in the U.S., Houston has a lot to do, but the layout of the city is not very walker friendly. Everyone drives and nothing is close or within walking distance. The public transportation is unreliable, so to do anything involves a long wait in the heat at the bus stop. Despite all that, though, we’ve still had fun exploring our new city.
Paz,
Stephanie
