My official vacation road-trip ended Friday night around 10 pm in time to catch the Houston news. From the news I learned that the Art Car Parade/Show would be Saturday at 1 pm. Last year’s parade was great, so I opted to forgo getting some rest and headed to the show around 11 the next morning. This year ended up being more enjoyable than the last due to learning from things that could have made my previous experience even better, such as: arriving early enough to get good parking (having an SUV made this much easier), instead of driving past the field using it as a parking lot, sitting on the opposite side of the street to get a better view, and arriving early, getting there early, coming early. Check, check, check, and check.
Characters of all sorts come to see the cars, actually build the cars, or are hoping to sell something. This guy was pitching love and hugs. I was a little too freaked out to buy what he was selling, but he did pique my interest and a smile.
