Kayaking the Bayou!

If you're not a native Houstonian, you may be surprised to learn there is a bayou running through the center of the city. I was. Mom & I found out that we can kayak the bayou! It was so great. We took along 2 of mom's friends, or rather I got to be included in their plans because they needed a fourth person. :) Whatever. I was just happy to go kayaking! The trail we rode was 8.4 miles. Apparently there are more (3?) paddling trails in the city and several oustide the city. I see my future.
This picture was taken near the end of the 2 1/2 trip...

This is more typical of what we saw all along the way...trees. It was beautiful and reminded me a little of Michigan; except the water was so muddy gross.
This is where we landed. Awesome!


Here is Mom & I at the end, having survived the bayou!
