" Houston is the fourth largest city in the United States.It is the beautiful city.Its famous for popular events which is held in the city celebrating cultures of Houstonians."


I have been following a busy schedule from last six months and it was just office and home. I was struggling to have some time for myself so I decided to half a break from the work and fortunately I got a leave of a week from the work. I decided to go to my brother house who lives in Houston , United States. I forgot to introduce myself I am Ricky and work in a music Company in Delhi. It was the month of December when I step out for the first time to USA. I board a plane from the IGI airport in the evening and I got shocked when the crew of the plane during welcome message told us that it was going to be the long flight and would take approximately 16 hours to reach Houston and dinner will be served shortly etc. I took relief when I reached at George Bush Intercontinental airport Houston. From the airport I hire a taxi and went to the my brother house . I reached there at 11’O clock since there is no one in the house and my brother told me that he would be available at 5 PM in the evening, so after having lunch I watched a movie. In the evening when my brother came we had a dinner out at a hotel and I asked him about the must see places there around Houston he suggested me some and rest I searched on the internet. Next morning I woke up and went to the Space center and spent whole day there , clicked number of photos there in the shuttle.

Space center
Going to Houston space center is almost like visiting moon. It gives a glimpse of history of human space travel through live presentations, films and many other facts. There we get to see all the challenges faced by astronauts in micro gravity. It really motivates us to do something in our life, its really an inspirational place for youth, to do something innovative in their life.

Houston Zoo
When I reached back home my brother told me that he got two days leave from work I was very happy as for next two days I was going to have a company of my brother , moreover I need not to worried about having a single penny in my pocket. In next two days we went to art museum, zoo, theater. The Houston zoo, few miles from downtown. It is inside Hermann park, a family destination . The zoo has around 500 species, area of zoo is around 55 acres. It has nations longest collection of snakes, Blanco, a zoo favorite, it is an American alligator, extremely rare white colored breed.
We also watched a movie at A 17-block area. The Hermann park was made by George Hermann in 1914, and how it is most significant public park. It contains golf course, wooden sites with picnic areas , running hails and lots more. Over the years, it has been favorite destination for tourists as well as residents.

Downtown Aquarium
During my last two days of stay there I managed to visit Downtown Aquarium and Battleship. One will see sea creatures of every shape and size. An awesome family fun destination, the dancing fountains with colorful lights, 100-feet diving Bell faeries wheel are its major features. Aquarium restaurant and dine lounge are both good for drinking and dinning.


 

And on last day , I went to see Battleship Houston. Battleship become memorial museum in 1948, It was the first memorial museum in USA.

Battleship Houston
Since every day when I went along with my brother almost we went to the shopping so on my own behalf i don’t went to any shopping mall. When I came back my brother came along with me to drop at the airport. I reached the airport well in time as my flight was scheduled in the evening. I was in no mood to came back as the city was full of activity but I had to come back. Upon reaching at New Delhi when I reached home I told about my trip to all of my friends. It was one of my best trip I have ever had in my life.
