HOUSTON DIARY PART 2

Butterfly Museum
HEARTTHROB HOUSTON
Houston zoo

Dear readers, to start with, lets venture into Museum of Natural science, which has Cockrell Butterfly center. The center is in three- story glass building made like rain forest filled with tropical plants and butterflies of bright colors. I could see the joy on little chubby faces of kids, when butterflies fluttered near them and some could even venture out to sit on their outstretch palms. The joy and thrilling voices of kids just made my day. Morian Hall of PaleontologyTyrannosaurus takes one into fearsome world of tyrannosaurs .Houston Zoo is again one of its kind. It appeared not so big from outside but quite huge from inside. But not so big that you can not stroll through it. Apart from all animals, Giraffes, Lions, Zebras, baboons and monkeys (I do not even remember them all now), a couple of Gorillas stood out. They attracted everyone's attention by having ferocious fight with each other. Maybe they were seeking for attentions from visitors or may be some other reason of their own. But given a quite  good opportunity for people to take selfies against them (just imagine taking a pic at the background of fighting gorillas).

Ice skating in Galleria
The Galleria is famous shopping center in Houston. Almost all the big and famous brands have store here. It was just a treat for the eyes. Though I did not purchased anything from Galleria as I prefer outlet malls to do shopping maybe because of their layout.
So I did bought couple of things from Tanger outlet mall, which again has all the brands and my all time favorite, Nine West presence.
How much I will write about Houston main city and its street tour, it would always be less , so I have decided to take you guys on virtual tour. (courtesy youtube). My visit to this city would be incomplete without mentioning its neighboring places.  To start with NASA, a famous getaway town Galveston and serene San Antonio and last but not the least my all time favorite place Amazing New Orleans.
