Student Travel to Houston Lawton Oklahoma

Houston by Jesse --- Lawton, Oklahoma

We arrived in Houston on the day before Thanksgiving, at about 6pm. We were picked up from the airport by family friends, Armaiti and Aspey, who took us to their home where we met their daughters Persis, who is 25, Yasmin, who is 21, and Nazreen, who is 18.

We sat around talking and doing not much apart from the girls going to one of the malls.



The next day was Thanksgiving which is THE major American holiday. We went to the "Houston Space Centre" (N.A.S.A.). This is still the active training site for current astronauts and it is also a major tourist attraction. It has a museum with an audio tour that covers the history of space travel. In most cases the displays are the actual space ships that were on the mission or the original training modules that the astronauts trained on. There was an adult and a child version of the tour. Included in the museum are moon rocks and moon soil. We got to touch an actual moon rock (though it felt like a normal rock to me!).

There were activities to entertain kids, like what you would weigh on Mars and other planets and space communications through to different parts of the centre.

They had a separate tour which took you through the current training areas where astronauts are currently being trained (see pics).

They also had the original Mission Control Centre where the Apollo missions, including things like the first moon walk, were run from. This is also the place where the Apollo 13 message "Houston, we have a problem" came to. You can also see things like the red phone used to call the President and the place where the Director sat. The room is no longer in use but everything is still left in the same condition as it was during the Apollo missions. The Mission Control Centre complex is now registered as a place of national historical significance.

Dinner that night was a full Thanksgiving dinner with the thanksgiving turkey, 3 types of cranberry sauce, peas, yams (a sweet potato dish that is about the concentrate of ice-cream), mash potato and more. (The meal is made up of what the Native Americans showed the Founding Fathers to harvest from the land, so that they didn't starve.)

Then we had desserts.

The family we stayed with has a tradition that after Thanksgiving Dinner they to go out to see a movie. We saw "Yours, Mine and Ours" which was fine.

The next day was the "After Thanksgiving Sale" (which is like the Boxing Day sale in Australia). The girls, Armaiti and mum went out to the malls while dad got some stuff for the computers and the whole day was either spent shopping or sitting around. For dinner that night we went to a Tex-Mex which is Texas style Mexican food.

The following day we left early so that we could get on a plane and then fly off to Baltimore

Traveling around the world is a great activity to pursue at almost any age provided you are in proper health to handle the rigors of international student travel.

Sometimes, the demands of modern life seem to require an endless supply of energy. It’s hard enough just trying to squeeze everything in, then finding the energy to actually do everything presents a whole other obstacle. Are *YOU* low on natural energy?

When it comes to maintaining your good health, even when we try to eat well, we're still disadvantaged…
The nutritional content of most food has been compromised over the years, not only by deficient soils and modern production, transportation, storage and processing methods, but also by the enormous amounts of chemical and artificial substances added to promote growth, storage life, taste and appearance.

It's for this reason that more and more medical authorities are advocating the use of vitamin and mineral supplements. However, finding them in the right combination can be both confusing and costly.

The best nutrition products I know of make use of knowledge gained from the botanical world's 6,000 year history. They incorporated health building nutritional herbs with the best modern technology to help our bodies cleanse and detoxify so that the cells - the tiniest living units - can be as fully nourished as possible.

This allows the cells to grow, repair and to perform their functions with the best possible efficiency so that we feel and look better and are more able to prevent and fight disease. Once the body begins to clear itself of toxins it can more efficiently absorb nutrition.
