Arriving in Houston

Let me preface this by stating that Houston is a HUGE city. It is a central city that has three concentric circles of highways. Each time the city has expanded to reach the outside of these highways. And they are HUGE. I've never driven on an 18 lane highway until I came to Houston, and yup, there is. Thats crazy. If there is no traffic then it would still take you 45 minutes to drive from top to bottom, or east to west of the city.
We boxxy'd into Houston down around noon. I moved into my apartment, which is very nice. Its not huge, but
its nice and I have my own room and there is a nice kitchen. After that we met for lunch with this friend of my moms. One crazy thing I should note about him is that when my mom asked what he was driving so we could follow his car to the restaurant, well, he was driving a Black Ferrari if that is any indication of his personality. Pretty awesome. Good guy to know thats for sure.

I don't start work until Tuesday, which means that I have a week to "chill". Things are kinda rough because I don't feel spending gobs of money atm, but since I haven't started work I haven't met anyone in houston yet, and my roommate will be working, so I don't really have anything to do. We'll see what I feel like doing. I guess I'm getting a tan and hanging at the beach. Not too bad I suppose. Eating a lot too. Cha cha folks.

Thanks,
Guthrie
