Unser Abreisetag ☹ Also m\u00fcssen wir unsere tollste Unterkunft von allen heute verlassen. Die Peekaboo-Suite (= Kuckuck-Suite), in der man vom Bad durch die Dusche r\u00fcber ins Schlafzimmer sehen kann.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our day of departure ☹ So today we have to leave the greatest lodging of all we had. The peekaboo-suite, in which you can look from the bathroom through the shower over into the bedroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Wer also in Houston \u00fcbernachten will: Im SureStay, 1712 Houston Boulevard, ist man sehr, sehr gut aufgehoben!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So for those who want to stay in Houston: In the SureStay, 1712 Houston Boulevard, you will be very well taken care of!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ach ja \u2026 keine Longhorns mehr, keine tolle Landschaft …<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh well … no more longhorns, no more great landscapes \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Aber eine Sache sehen wir uns noch an!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But we will visit one more place!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Hierf\u00fcr haben wir uns angemeldet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is what we have registered for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Wir waren fr\u00fch dran, also sind wir noch ein bisschen herumgewandert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were early, so we strolled around a bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Hier ist ein Park \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a park here \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u2026 mit einer Skate-Anlage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2026 with a skating site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Wir haben auch Eichh\u00f6rnchen zugeschaut. Diese Augen!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also watched squirrels. Those eyes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ups, Zeit zu gehen!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oops, time to go!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Denn Rosemarie beginnt jetzt unsere F\u00fchrung!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Rosemarie will now start our tour!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Sie hat uns eine Menge erz\u00e4hlt! Die Buffalo Bayou Park Zisterne war eines der fr\u00fchen unterirdischen Wasserreservoirs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She told us lots! The Buffalo Bayou Park Cistern was one of the city\u2019s early underground reservoirs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Wenn seine Kapazit\u00e4t voll genutzt wurde, hielt es 15 Millionen Gallonen Wasser (1 Gallone = 3,78541 Liter), doch heute steht nicht viel Wasser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It held 15 million gallons of water when functioning at capacity (1 gallon = 3,78541 liters), but today there is not so much water in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Einmal komplett au\u00dfen herum wurde ein begehbarer Weg angelegt, auf dem Rosemarie immer r\u00fcckw\u00e4rts lief und uns die Geschichte der Zisterne erz\u00e4hlte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once all around they set up a walkable ledge, on which Rosemarie constantly walked backwards while she told us the history of the cistern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

An jeder Seite blieb sie einmal stehen, um uns mit ihrer starken Lampe Details zu zeigen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At each side she stopped once, to show us details with her powerful lamp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Die Treppen nach unten \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The stairs that go down \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u2026 oder der Zugang von oben, den man nutzen musste, bevor f\u00fcr die Touristen so ein sch\u00f6ner Zugang gebaut wurde.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

… or the access from above that you had to use before they built such a nice access for the tourists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Aus jedem Winkel immer wieder ein toller Anblick!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A great view time and again, from each angle!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Die Zisterne hat eine Gr\u00f6\u00dfe von 87.500 Quadratfu\u00df oder 8.129,02 m\u00b2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cistern has a size of 87,500 square feet or 8,129.02 m\u00b2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Am Schluss hat Rosemarie sogar f\u00fcr uns gesungen, auf deutsch und dann auf englisch!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the end, Rosemarie even sang for us, in German and then in English!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ach ja, aber dann war die F\u00fchrung aus. Wir m\u00fcssen jetzt zum Start …<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh well, but then the tour was over. We now have to get to the launch \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u2026 also zum Flughafen! Erst einmal Quinnie abgeben!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

… meaning, to the airport! First of all we have to drop off Quinnie!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Also noch ein letztes Mal durch das Stra\u00dfengewirr.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So one last time through the maze of streets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dann im Flughafen das richtige Gate finden …<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then we had to find the right gate in the airport \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ein letzter Blick \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A last look \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u2026 und dann gings los.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2026 and then we got going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Die Einweisung (nett gemacht, als w\u00e4ren wir im Theater).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The briefing (nicely done, as if we were in a theater).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Und dann waren wir auch schon unterwegs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then we were on our way already.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Erst nach Minneapolis (ein Flughafen, der deutlich moderner wirkte als Houston).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First to Minneapolis (an airport that seemed much more modern than Houston).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Und dann \u00fcber Nacht nach Amsterdam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then over night to Amsterdam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

B\u00e4h, da hatten wir dann eine Stunde Versp\u00e4tung.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bah, there we then had a delay of one hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Aber irgendwann sind wir m\u00fcde zu Hause angekommen …<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But eventually we got home, if very tired \u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
