9. The Rice Institute, later Rice University was found in 1912. It is the most respected and highest ranked university in the Deep South. On September 12, 1962, President Kennedy gave his famous speech explaining why we were planning to go to the moon at the Rice football stadium. That same stadium was home of Super Bowl VIII on January 13, 1974. I still have my ticket from that game. How much do you think it cost to attend?

About Houston

Houston is the largest city in Texas, a sprawling Gulf Coast metropolis of space history, big museums, bayou parks and food from around the world.

Houston sprawls across the flat coastal plain of south-east Texas, inland from the Gulf coast, with a skyline of towers downtown. It was founded in 1836 and named for Sam Houston, the general who won Texas independence at the Battle of San Jacinto. The San Jacinto Monument, a tall masonry column topped with a star, marks the battlefield, and Buffalo Bayou Park runs through the city, with trails, bridges and an underground cistern.

Top-ranked sights in Houston: Space Center Houston, Market Square Park, Downtown Aquarium.
