Actually, we hadn’t realized how long our lunch had truly lasted until the gentleman at the ticket counter told us we’d have a hard time fitting all of the exhibits into an hour. Short on time, we sped up the parking garage, through the gift shop, and to the ticket line. After we were sufficiently stuffed, we finally said goodbye to Mark and headed out to visit The Houston Museum of Natural Science.Īfter an extended lunch, we made plans to explore the Museum of Natural Sciences just a few blocks down the road. However, he did take the time to break down some basic techniques that are beneficial to know when handling cameras. He told us about a neat idea he has to accent one of his photographs, that quite honestly went over our heads. We were sure to pick Mark’s brain about some of his ideas for upcoming gallery openings and some of the trips he has planned. Sawyer, the mole enthusiast, ensured us that the discrepancy was Makayla and not the mole, which is almost certainly true. Sawyer, a mole enthusiast, was more interested than Makayla, who was not a huge fan of her order. Because we had three different plates of Mole at our table, our waiter made a point to tell us about their “12 Days of Mole” event the second weekend in December, where they have 12 types of mole available for customers to try. ….and a very impressive order of quesadillas. Orders from our table also included Mancha Mantles… As an appetizer, we ordered the Vuelve a la Vida Cocktail. Picos was on the higher end of Mexican restaurants and offered a diverse menu of authentic Mexican dishes, and it may have been the first Mexican restaurant we have visited during a LEAP trip. ![]() ![]() While a couple of ambassadors have spent quite a bit of time with Mark during our travels, others have not, and we appreciate Mark for taking the time to come to lunch and answer any and all questions we may have. Our first outing was heading to lunch at Arnaldo Richards’ Picos Seven Regions of Mexican Cuisine where we were meeting Mark Burns. Day two of our LEAP Retreat, the Ambassadors got a late start to the morning allowed us to catch up on some much needed rest after our first week of classes.
