Galveston

Since Galveston was only about an hour away we spent a pleasant afternoon driving down to take a look at it.


There is an amusement park on the beach that looked fun.


Finding these two rather large men sharing a surry style bicycle made me chuckle.  I think they're trying to look the part of a pair of bad boy bikers, but it's just not working.

We thought we could make a big circle on our way back, but the road ended.  While looking for a way to continue we saw a lot of huge ships.

But not to worry, there was a ferry to take us over the water and prevent a lot of backtracking.  Best part was it was totally free of charge.

Long Live the Queen of Galveston

    I wanted to take that ferry over to the peninsula, but every time I planned it the weather was nasty thus stayed home. I'm a fair weather explorer :-)

    Galveston, O' Galveston...my childhood still lives there (and at the Texas City Dike). This place was magical for a Chicago kid. I literally lived here for four years. Thanks for the memories, my friend.

    p.s. I forgot to mention that I love those gulls. They are so different from the ones around here.
