Houston, my first destination in Texas. Again, I was lucky enough to find a host to stay for the weekend. Rocky is something like a professional couch surfer. He gave me quite a detailed list of where to go, how to get there and what to take a picture of. He was very passionate about showing me everything Texan life is about (and of cause the famous Southern Hospitality). When he was not working, he drove me all around the city to see all the “landmarks”. I was almost a bit embarrassed by so much attention and effort, but I also really enjoyed it. I wouldn't have seen half of it without Rocky.

The first beer tasting. Rocky loves beer tastings, I tried around 18 new ones that weekend
I found my new favorite beer, the “Dragon’s Milk”
if you want to do just anything, you need to drive. I learned that this is actually true for the whole of Texas.
A traditional Texan barbeque place, the meet here is actually slow cooked for at least 8 hours (overnight), so it is super tender and juicy. I wished we had something lite that at home.
