Discovered a waterfall in the Panamanian highlands.
Saw the Golan Heights from atop an aged castle.
Furiously spat out water at the Dead Sea.

Most people believe Houston is just endless urban sprawl -- and for most purposes it is -- but if you know where to look there are countless hole-in-the-wall ethnic restaurants, colorful museums, questionable dive bars, music venues and theaters. I also enjoy cooking, and I'm usually down for trying out a new dish or cuisine.
