I only scratched the surface but my impressions of Houston and Galveston were mostly reaffirmed today.
Houston is a mega metropolis, and much like my hometown (Detroit) lacks a very vibrant city core. It's very suburban and sprawling. I get the feeling one can live a great life here but it's not the most entertaining place.
Galveston gives off a lot of "cheap tourism" vibes. It's not ghetto per say and there's some beautiful architecture, but is definitely a place I will never return to. I'm only here because of a conference. Still, it's cool to see the Gulf because aside from a desire to hit up New Orleans I never really planned on seeing the Gulf.
