Your photo really looks good.
I hope you enjoyed your time in Houston! There is a large Vietnamese population in Houston, so there are many great Vietnamese restaurants around. Jealous you were able to walk to the restaurant though. I live in far North Houston, and it's at least an hour drive to decent Asian restaurants!

I was prepared for this but I couldn't help but facepalm. The funniest was when the passengers could not understand why the flights attendants ask them to raise the blinds during take off and landing.

Haha. It is definitely a crazy experience! I felt really bad for the flight attendants since they deal with it daily.
