Always somethin' to do in Houston

There's a lot of reasons to get attracted to one of the largest cities in the States. The city that dodges the heat and soaks in the humidity is also the city that is host to so many wonders, that it is impossible to list all of them. But then well begun is half done.

Bayou Bend Collection and Gardens
The Collection is one of USA's foremost assemblages of American decorative arts dating from 1620 through 1870. The objects in the collection are among the finest examples of American design and craftsmanship.

City Hall
The hall is one of the finest examples of a building being used exactly for the purpose it was intended for when it was built. In the grillwork above the main entrances are aluminum medallions of the quot;great lawgiversquot; such as Julius Caesar, Moses, and Thomas Jefferson. Today, though the building is tall, and is one of the first buildings air conditioned in Houston, it no longer inspires the awe it once did.
