West Links

If you are like me, you enjoy finding new and different places which are only a short drive from where you live.

And what makes it doubly enjoying is when one has friends along.

While Houston has quite a number of attractions, often all I want to do is get away from the hustle and bustle of Houston.

The purpose of this site is to give you the places and sites friends and I have explored and to give you our ”rating” of these places.

The good news is it will include both a male and a female viewpoints and ratings.
