I will be in Houston with my family for about 5 days. Is there anyone who could recommend what to see while out there?

It's about 1 hour south of Houston. It has beaches, and many resterants. I highly recomend the "Tour Train" that leaves from the Visitor's Center on Seawall Av., next to the Galvez Hotel. It's a very interesting tour of the island's history, and tourist attractions. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------- Dave Lowrey "To vacillate or not to vacillate, that is the question.... ....or is it?" ...!(<sun,cbosgd,ihnp4}!amdahl!dwl10 [ The opinions expressed <may> be those of the author and not necessarily those of his most eminent employer. ]

Naturally you will be expected to pay homage at the San Jacinto Battlefield (that's where they yelled "Remember the Alamo!"). And don't forget NASA. *Texas Monthly* has listings of restaurants, theaters, museums, sports, etc. The Piney Woods and Big Thicket areas to the north are beautiful, as is the Gulf coast. Too bad you aren't visiting San Antonio and Austin, the Two Best Cities in Texas. Richard Carnes
