Baytown, TX-December 18, 2011

Baytown is east of Houston. It was actually a blessing we traveled through Houston today. The traffic tomorrow would have overwhelmed us. At one point there were 6 lanes of traffic going in each direction with a 4 tier flyover. It was something to see. Jerry did not have time to enjoy that or the gorgeous skyline of Houston. He was just trying to keep us on the road and safe. I'll have to study but it appeared to us that Houston has surpassed Dallas for volume of traffic and number of lanes at any given point. We arrived here to bright sunshine. It was an odd thing to see after 8 straight days of clouds and rain, but it is nice! We opened all the windows and just breathed in the fresh air. A storm is due in here tonight. We hope it will be light and not last 8 more days! We have traveled 797 miles across Texas and we're not out of the state yet. We should be out by the end of the week, hopefully.
