Escape. One of the places I go to be a tourist is Houston, Texas, taking advantage of what the big city offers.

The Art Car Museum is a good place to start.

The Beer Can House is interesting. Yes, those are all beer cans and beer can tabs.

The Museum of Fine Arts Houston was my main destination for this trip, to see the Picasso Black and White exhibit. No photos were allowed of the exhibit, but here is a sort-of cubism photo of the building.

Other exhibits in the Museum of Fine Arts Houston are attention-worthy and photographs are allowed. Here is a sarcophagus panel from the 2nd century A.D.

And when all is said and done and I’m exhausted, I find respite on a tree-lined path across from the museum. Cool and serene.
