- We spend two days exploring Houston, Texas. After enjoying the amenities at San Jacinto Riverfront RV Resort, we visit the San Jacinto Monument and the Kemah Boardwalk. We spend the next day walking around downtown, and spend most of our departure day visiting the Space Center, thus saving the best for last.

Wow 40 minutes went by pretty quick. That's what happens with quality of interest videos. Thanks Robert..
Glad you made it. Come again soon - All Houstonians
So, so enjoyable! Who needs TV?!
I am from the Netherlands and a fan of the Houston Texans (don't ask why). I visited the city for 2 weeks in octobre 2017 to see them play. Houston is AMAZING and a really underrated tourist destination. Time flew by. Thanks for this video Robert, great work as always.
I need to get on a road trip! Robert makes ordinary trips look exotic! 😬 Much respect!
Thank you, Robert. I am surprised myself that you manage to keep ME watching your videos of big cities and their downtowns. Usually these places are boring, but you - and your music - make watching very interesting! Besides, I am very impressed by Houston's Metro and underground walks, let alone the space center. Excellent idea. Greetings from Bavaria, Germany.
Thanks!
ANOTHER goody, guess I need to put Texas on my visit list.
You drive, you narrate, you film, you edit, you are musician, you're high IQ, and need no sleep. Wow.
Kemah Boardwalk - you are right - very busy on the weekends. Fun on the weekend to watch the boats coming and going though. Loved seeing Houston from your point of view - you did a great job.
Gooooood morning Robert! Thank you for the new video. We always look forward to seeing them. Have a great day. 😎🌴👍
“It’s very hot today” lol
It’s ALWAYS hot from April ‘til October!
Yeap, so very true- I laughed when he said that-
Robert Thank you for having one of the best channels on UA-cam. You are very genuine and informative. The coolest voice too. I binge watch your channel just about every weekend. Thank you!
The Papas family has some of the best restaurants in Houston.
I loved it. I enjoyed seeing downtown Houston, all those oil refineries, wow, there were lots; the sunset was spectacular. My favorite part was the Space Center, mercy, that place is awesome. I loved seeing the Saturn 5 rocket and the 747 and space shuttle, the entire your you shared was great. Thanks again so much for sharing all your adventures with us. I am looking forward to San Antonio.🙂
I like those diagonal drive through RV parks.
Super efficient, easy, and safe.
Thanks Robert I always enjoy your videos so very much .I am unable to travel like I would love but you take me along with you every where you go an I feel like I'm right there on the journey with you.I look forward to your next one it's become part of my day.Safe travels.😊
Excellent job on the video. Your editing work is superb!
Thanks!
Another great video can’t wait for the next. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
I learned more about houston in this video than i ever have, and ive lived right next to it my whole life, never actually been in the city
I'd love to hear your narration of an Amtrak journey some day!
I recently discovered Traveling Robert and his fabulous videos and music. Like him putting a sticker on each state he visits, I am going to post this comment on all the videos I watch! You da man, Robert!!
I love James's t-shirt awesome! I seen a few videos with James, cool you two met . Awesome sunset too, thanks for showing Houston.
A Houston resident here, you did a pretty good video, covering some of the top tourist destinations this city has to offer, considering Houston is commonly known more as an industrial place, covering the medical field, energy, oil, and space, mainly.
Felicidades socio. Bendiciones.
Traveling Robert!! The Greatest Traveler in America, and Cuba :D. I'm from South Carolina, and I always watches your Traveling Videos since 2016.
When you come to Oceanside, California again, be sure to stay at the Oceanside Harbor where you can park your RV and walk around while filming.
The pizza at Dominic's below the lighthouse has the best crust I have ever tried.
Didn’t know Houston was such a great city.
Love the space center. That was worth a visit. Thank you ❤
There is the video that makes my lazy Sunday :D
I was recommend this and I’m impressed by quality of shots and how you narrated the video.
Omgosh Mr. Robert you just solved a mystery for me. I wondered why they moved the Mock up Explorer to Houston. I never knew they put the Atlantis there. I got down to see that thing a few times. I happened to be there for the dedication of it in 1993 ( I won a trip from NASA at the same time ) so I felt a closeness to it. I was huffy when they moved it. LOL. So nice to know they replaced it with an actual one. Now I can go to NASA again without pouting lol.
Hello Robert , I stumbled upon your videos by chance but I wanted to mention how professional your videos are, and how organized you seem. Keep up the good work. Many thanks for the other side of the world, Dubai.
Thank you!
H-Town - Space City - Third Coast - Lone Star . My Town
Nice town
Great Video glad you enjoyed your visit. Be Blessed Brother Shine On
I’ve lived here 40 years and had no idea about the tunnels! Great job! I wouldn’t have camped near the refinery lol.
This video on the city of Houston and the Nasa center deserves 5 stars 👍! and the others as well on
this was amazing
tnx Robert
Seaside birds can be pesky 😑
Loved your tour of Houston. Never knew about the tunnels 😎
Always enjoy space related footage 🚀
Great episode Robert 😁 👍
Hello Robert, never worry about vacation schedules, they are made to be broken because you are enjoying something more than you could have imagined. Another great video and as always, stay safe, my friend.
I WOULD LOVE TO TRAVEL LIKE YOU SOMEDAY ROBERT,YOU INSPIRE ME
just in time for the Houston Astros to play in the ALCS.
🤩THANK YOU FOR VISITING MY HOME TOWN!!!!! Luv Texas 💙
No place like it...Houston is a beautiful place 🌆
Very cool Robert. My first assembly model was within months after the model kit for the Lunar Lander was released in the 1960's. lol Turned out all right for about an 8 year old kid with less than two hands. Traveled this 2nd weekend of Oct to the 55th National October Apple Harvest Festival at Biglerville, PA from west of Pittsburgh, PA. The PA JC's started it and run it every year. All kinds of Apple products of course mostly made "after you order". Indian Pow Wow, antique cars, wagon rides provided for parking and camping 4 to 5 miles away unless like my wife a JC Senator we camped for free on location.
I’m totally addicted to your videos since my sister told me about you! If you ever come through Lubbock and Wolfforth, TX there’s a nice RV park right on Highway 62-82 near our house, we could show you the sights!
Great as always. Good photography and music. Your comments are very educative and interesting. Right on the money. We will definitely put Houston on our itinerary.
Great zoom on the sun in this video!
Love your music!
All the best :)
Thanks again Robert !! The company I just retired from has a big sales office and warehouse in Houston, but unfortunately I never went to visit. They sell electrical cables mostly for the refineries and utility companies. Great video (As always !!) You really make it very interesting and as always - Great content, video quality, sound quality, and your homemade background music - just love it !!! "See you on the road", if I every bite the bullet and get one !! ha ha !!
ive been watching for a while awesome job, i lived in Houston and you showed i never made to, thank you
a big never my big it's great you do a good job well done Mr. Roberts hat
Love the part on the Kennedy Space Center. Hope to visit someday after Covid-19.
Johnson Space Center...gotta go now. Thanks!
I just got back from Houston (to the UK) this week - you walked around the area I worked in - it was great to see it (I only take a few pics on my phone) You even parked in the same place as me which was a shock! haha Great vid - next trip I need to factor in an extra day to do the space place - looks amazing.
Absolutlely wonderful Robert. 🍺🍺🍺
We enjoyed the US Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville AL this past spring.
Looking forward to seeing Houston and the "Mighty T" (Battleship Texas) in the near future.
Good times and safe travels.
You really should have just allowed yourself all the time you needed to see everything,since its one of your favorite things,a time schedule seems kind of silly in this situation.You really did a fantastic job filming and explaining things,I enjoyed it very much!
Hi Robert. I got a kick out of how closed captioning labeled some of your music...mystic...pensive...thoughtful...techno. Interesting. Another great video. We got to visit the Space Station in Huntsville before prices became way too expensive. Thanks for letting me see a bit of the one in Houston without having to pay an arm and a leg and without having to deal with another huge city. Enjoyed it.
Great job Robert as usual, so informative and edifying. I really enjoy travelling and seeing America through your camera lens, hoping one day I can travel these cities for real. Didn’t know Texas was such a beautiful city. Once you have finished travelling the U.S maybe you should consider doing Canada😁
Downtown Houston recently had a fire in the Main Street Market building pictured at 16:47. Kept Main St. closed & the electric train for a couple of days & tied up hundreds of firemen.
Great video Robert, thank you. Will definitely go to see the Space Center. Very interesting. 👍
Great to see you enjoyed our city. I worked down the street from places you were visiting.
Great video. Huston is a very interesting city with its Space Center, and the beautiful buildings. I liked the yoke about my uncle Jacinto. Safe travel and keep up. Love MOM...>>>
Amazing Video. Robert. My husband would be interested in watching this. Thank you for the video. Have A good day
You’ve seen more of Houston that me and I live here lol
Robert the Fish and 24:42... love that little touch you made in the editing!
Man!
San Jacinto is flat as a pancake like Florida.
Excellent place to ride around though. In a folding recumbent trike like the HP Velotechnik Scorpion PLUS.
You could zip around all over an RV park and beyond in one of those.
AND film everything effortlessly!
You outdid yourself on this footage. Excellent film. I hope you do one as extensive on Dallas/Ft. Worth some day.
Hi Robert. I’ve lived in Houston most of my life and I’ve never visited the space center. I’ve passed by dozens of times, I guess I’ve just taken for granted what’s in my own backyard 🤷🏽♀️. I’m enjoying this series looking forward to seeing more of your videos
Great video Robert!. In regards to the Spanish word pronunciations, In New Jersey there is a little Borough named Buena, which is pronounced "Bee-yew-na" for some reason. lol.
We have Humble...pronounced "Umble". I lived in Houston over 38 years and I still don't know why it's pronounced that way.
I worked for and retired from an old ENRON company housed there in Houston. I'm sure the former ENRON building is seen somewhere in your video but I'm not sure which one. Thanks for the videos!
Rumble & Flex.
Wooden roller coasters are special and appealing for that strong character and performance feature.
The sound of the cars rolling around RESONATE with far more appeal than metal roller coasters do.
Japan builds modern wooden roller coasters for that reason.
We’ve lived in Houston since 1984 because of work but always thought we would move back to California after retirement but our grandkids are here so we’re staying. Bugs, heat, humidity and all. I don’t think you mentioned that it’s probably the flattest city in America and barely above sea level so flooding is a given.
We Love U Robert
The cultural aspects of Houston are legend, but I was born and raised in Denver, Colorado.
I have lived in California, Alaska, and El Paso, Texas where mountains came up out of the desert to give the eye something to hang on to.
Florida and the flat parts of Texas would tear out my hilly psyche.
And I am now of the age where humidity is a no go entirely.
that campground is so costly for a parking lot with no shade, but thanks for showing us around Houston
A good case for artificial trees.
Excellent video from Houston. Informative snapshot of the area. Thanks
I was there in the battle ship 2 times in my life and never saw the san jacinto monument. I have to go again
Wow NASA has grown. I went over 30 years ago and I thought it was fantastic then. But wow they have so much more now to see. That mock up place is unbelievable. People actually working on new things and studying hand on while people tour. What an operation.
Great video buddy!!! Looks like your channel is coming along very well!!
Houston we have a problem here where is the next gas station--Nasa : Call Robert, he knows where they are all! 😊
Houston is so clean compared to Austin and San Antonio, hardly any littering, cigarette butts, etc
Hi Robert. I am Betty Turner Montana. Just wanted to tell you how much we enjoy watching your trips around the country. Do you think you would come to our start of Montana? There is lots to see here too. That is what we want to start doing. We hope you folk have a wonderful week. Thank you for the good work.
Thanks for sharing Robert
"This looks like the set where they faked the moon landing... just kidding" 🤣
Adrienne....What moon landing????
Next time you go back to Texas visit The Woodlands it's 30 mins north of Houston
Yo estuve ahí y en Huntsville AL y la NASA aquí en Florida, cuidado con Houston que está lleno de peajes.
Another great video! Thanks Robert! 👍🏼
Thank you.
Robert, plz do a re filmimg of Houston as the city has become even more San Fransiscoish\Savannaish with tons of replica Savannah row townhouses amd contemporary styles and many new places to eat.
9:21 That could likely be from the chemical plant fire in March 2019. But there were other fires in the same area in that spring so I'm not sure 100%.
You missed my MOST favorite place in Houston and best of all it's FREE every Thursday afternoon: the Museum of Natural Science!
You were right, you went back to say Texas in Spanish accent after you met James. Safe travels!
Hi Robert, The wife and i discovered your channel couple months ago and have watched alot of them. We also live in SW Florida. We have one question, why are your videos posted long after they were filmed ? We enjoy watching and plan on hitting the road and rving in the near future.
Thank you. I didn't really have time to edit them while I was traveling
L'Ya Houston, see ya soon......
Robert, ive enjoyed many of your videos, however , you needed to have done a drive thru of the medical center, the museum district and Herman Park, Allen Parkway and River Paks amd Galveston...There are also the many villages that could have been covered and the St Arnolds Brewery....You could have had a feast and a great beer ...Also the Mexican restaurant that you didnt go to has better food than Pappasitos but they dont have.prices on their menu.
Awesome video Robert. No much to see in Houston 😙still live down there
very nice thumbnail... Good job Robert on this content
Thanks!
I'll bet you two bottles of tequila lol
"TEAM JESUS", i like that shirt :)
Happy 😊 Travels enjoy your great videos!!
Love your travels and videos. 👍
When it comes to beer, I am a full blooded American traitor.
I love Guinness.
Awesome video THANKS
Nice Video . You do a great job
One word: Outstanding...
Not really. He missed a few "free" places, ie. Houston Museum of Natural Science, The Mercer Arboretum, Herman Park, Memorial Park, The Galleria shopping Mall, Miller Outdoor theater.
@@NguyenGiaoUsA Thank you for your opinion on what TR missed while filming this section of his epic road trip. Yes, I do agree that he may Not have gone to many of the free attractions in this area, But what you must keep in mind, is that he is on a time frame during his travels. If he would take the time to visit every possible attraction in every area he visited, He would be away from his wife and family for much more time then the 3 months he allotted doing this journey. BTW, My Outstanding statement was in relation to his editing, story telling, and Photography skills,, IMHO..
yeah, sadly after the built the kemah boardwalk up like you see it now, its become a serious tourist thing really, not a local thing... there was always 2-3 hour waits on friday nights and the whole weekend. Before the hurricane destroyed it, it was much more low-key and had great food (and no birds... well okay it had birds, but they were not that aggressive.. don't remember ever seeing one swoop in for food like that when I used to be there) .. used to live in the clear lake area... about 1 mile from NASA JSC .... and yeah.. Papa's usually delivers some great eats... nice to see independance display setup... as a houstonian i was always a bit sour that we didnt get one of the active shuttles... of course the the ending of the shuttle program is also why i had to move.... sadly... that area really died a lot ... i hope when orion comes to life. maybe it will build up again... great to get some glimpses of 'home' .. of course i say that and ive lived here in miami longer than my own house in houston... but spent first 30ish years there.. still more than half of my life.
