Tried to find my way downtown yesterday morning to no avail. I am like brain dead when it comes to downtown Houston. I was a little under the weather so Dale's text message asking if I was down there literally woke me up. Figured I'd try a drive-by on the way to breakfast.
Gary Moore and his team were out there in 1,000 degree heat. This is my first special shape.

The Po-Po had all of the streets I tried blocked off due the Houston's July 4th, "
Freedom Over Texas" Festival. Though, truth be told, some were very helpful.

This is what I saw when I parked the car on a turnout on Memorial Drive across from the
Houston Police Officer's Memorial. A lone police car, standing vigil for fallen comrades. I am going to go back and visit this soon.

My Hosts. I really wish I would have been able to get there earlier or better yet-yesterday. I would have loved to take more photos. They just kept cracking me up. Balloonists are just such cool people.

Finally, on the way home, after telling them how I don't drink, I got a 6-pack of this. Not too bad. Now calculating how many calories I can save by binging on this. (Joking).

Note, I used FujiColor ISO 200 instead of the 400 I like best. I also used no filters on the Canon IV HS film camera. I should have done that too. Oh if only I'd gotten there earlier....
