Finally Saw the Gulf of Mexico


Despite living in Houston for the last 3.5 years, I have not been to Galveston, nor seen the Gulf of Mexico. Now, while this may sound really cool at parties, especially given a nearly passport replete with various multinational customs stamps, I must admit that it was time to let the aforementioned truth lay to rest. Thusly, at 7:00am, with a humid brisk breeze as my witness, I have run my fingers through the crystal...er...reflective waters of our beloved Gulf. Sarjeel, Rini, Saman, Naveen, and myself all ventured last night to experience an invigorating sunrise on the sea; this was after a delightful short respite in Clear Lake involving Mrs. Das' guacamole and Hindi films. Thanks guys. I wouldn't have changed a thing.
