I think pops need to give a little more credit to the movie, now granted, the book is good because of its very visual description with words, and emotion, the movie condensed it all into one simple image, or a scene, you no longer need to read 3 pages to get an idea of what the Durin's Door looks like, you can now see Durin's door in one second. The books are great, The Hobbit is my favorite book actually but the movie also serves a great purpose of introducing people to JRRT's world without reading the books.
As for the city, that butterfly exhibit. oh my. as someone who went to practically all the available butterfly exhibits nearby, that looks like a fantastic one, all the socal ones are temporary wire nets essentially, that looks absolutely impressive. Way better than even the San Diego Safari park's butterfly exhibit two months ago.

I'm glad yall could visit Houston. If you have longer than 24 hours, and your here during football season, I recomend watching an Astros game. Also, the Science Museum, and a few of the other museums here, offer free Thursdays during the week. The science center has I believe a 3 hour window, while the Art center has the whole day. And the art center has 3 buildings to explore. Its definetely worth your time.

I recommend going out west to Chinatown for amazing food. You have to make a day trip to visit Galveston or Kemah. NASA is awesome! Get some mexican street tacos for no more than 2 dollars, a Rockets (Toyota Center) or Astros game (Minute Maid Park) for very cheap. If you like Pink Floyd, the Natural History museum has a cool planetarium show. Seismique a bit north so much stuff

I'm with Pops, movies room the best novels. well, most with the exception of one. Great spots, when I was in Houston, years ago, I was with a group so I'm looking forward to traveling back solo! Bats are awesome, we have a bat cave in northwest Maryland and some at a campground on the eastern shore. Of all places they are under the pavilion at the nature center!

Just as a nibblet of further info - the bat colony is smaller here, currently, as a result of Hurricane Harvey and the subsequent flooding. It essentially drowned something like 50-75% of that colony in particular and yet to recover fully. I don't believe it was ever more massive than the Austin colonies, but the bats were one of the big losses due to the storm.

Surprised you didn't visit Shipley Do-nuts. It's a Houston staple. Chicken and waffles at The Breakfast Klub is also a must. Kim Son restaurant for Vietnamese food. Greek food at Nikos Nikos in Montrose (the gayborhood. Hiking and biking in Memorial Park, shopping in Post Oak, Bellaire (Chinatown & Little Saigon, Houston Zoo, etc.

YAY! Been waiting on your Houston trip! So glad y'all were able to make it to the Hobbit Cafe. Definitely one off the beaten path. H Town always has something going on. Glad you all enjoyed your time in the big city. Y'all will have to put POST Houston on your next visit. It's a really cool spot.

Before heading out to Houston, you should really check out the exploding crime rate. It has quickly become the Chicago of our great state.

I liked the LOTR movies, but not the Hobbit movies. I would have skipped the bats in person, but enjoyed the way you captured them.

Was hoping that you would run into ex MLB player, Nolan Ryan, who played for the Houston Astros at one time.
