The Americas! (Part V)

I did my part to improve the US economy by shopping!

Guitar stuff from Guitar Center, a new pair of shoes, bits and bobs from REI. (It only took going to four stores to find 1 pair of size 9.5 black Converse All-Star low tops!)

Afterwards, dinner with grandma and a beer with an old high school friend. Truly, a lovely day.

Houston's sprawl continues unabated. Strip malls, huge 12-lane highways, traffic. It's surreal to be in a place that is familiar and yet you can't remember how to get from place to place.
