Tuesday, May 30, 2006

The whole day was a rainy, miserable day except for when I got to the Space Center in Houston. All the roads beside the interstate from Louisiana to Houston were flooded. Water was up to the top of roadsigns and billboards. But the sky cleared when I arrived at the Space Center (and then rained the rest of the way to San Antonio). The Space Center was great. I stayed there for about 3 hours. I took the tram tour that took guests to various buildings on the site. We went to the new mission control center, the astronaut training facility, and rocket park.


I visited the Alamo and Riverwalk in San Antonio. I stayed the night in Pecos, Texas, which is about 40 or 50 miles from the New Mexico border in west Texas. I learned that Pecos is the home of the world's first rodeo. Interesting stuff. Anyways, I'm off to Carlsbad Caverns, and I'm staying the night in Roswell, New Mexico. Hopefully I won't get abducted by aliens.

Space Center Pictures
The pictures from the space center look really good. I like the mission control one--thats where I wanted to be had I stuck with the whole engineering thing. Have a good time at the Caverns!
