Project2214 {Outside the Hedges}

This week I got to go explore downtown Houston as part of a class assignment. The whole purpose of the assignment was to watch people and truly analyze how different people are using the spaces that they are in. I chose to go to the main library and I made it into an afternoon adventure as I went outside the hedges that surround Rice University. I took the metro from campus to Main Street Station, and it was absolutely packed. The diversity of people that use public transportation in Houston is astonishing and I think it's so interesting to watch and listen to people as they get on and off. When I exited the train I was greeted by a man playing saxophone and I picked out the tune as the theme song to Sesame Street and a little further down the street I could see balloons filling the park space. It was a company picnic that I got invited into and I enjoyed the best blueberry popsicle I have ever had. It was the most beautiful weather I have experience yet in this city, and everything made me reminisce of my childhood. Overall, a great day and an incredible adventure!
