Galveston

Galveston. I want to sing the song by Glenn Campbell every time I say Galveston.

This morning we checked out and went up coast to Galveston. It was a very scenic drive, we stayed right along the coast. We enjoyed seeing all the homes and businesses built on stilts..

We stopped our little PT Cruiser at a public access road to check out the beach. Pretty icky. Lots of seaweed and lots and lots of jellyfish all over the beach.

Galveston had alot more modern hotels. The main road is right on the beach. We stayed on the main highway and walked the beach. Thank goodness there was another IHOP just a few blocks from our hotel so Dave could get his stuffed french toast again. I got to pick dinner, which of course I picked a Mexican place which was great too. One thing we noticed, and I enjoyed, was chips were served with warm (temperature) salsa at every Mexican restaurant we visited throughout our trip.

Dave's friend Walt suggested we stop for a Shiner beer at the Poop Deck in Galveston. We did, and enjoyed the view.
