I am not sure I knew that Galveston was an island. I should have remembered as they have been devastated by floods more than once.

| Hurricane Ike, only a category 1, devastated Galveston in 2008 and weathermen are reconsidering the rating system. The difference was it was a very slow moving storm and the sea surge caused extensive flooding. This historic pier and hotel is now this... |

Our hotel room was not quite ready. The next decision was easy. Seafood!
 |
| Server, Cassie, took good care of us |
Mmmmm Crab pot!
And a shark attack, or two...
 |
| Hotel on the beach with a balcony view of the Gulf Coast.... And an added gift of a room rate more than half the price in the change from Saturday arrival to Sunday arrival! |
 |
| Time to get the tootsies in the Gulf while we wait for a 4 p.m. tour. The water was much warmer than the Pacific north or south. |
The holes along the beach are sea critters. I dug one up in a very small shell. I couldn't get a bigger one out, but we watched it blowing bubbles as it worked to reestablish his blow hole from below. Fun.
Surfers here, too.

| I did not get the memo that Karen doesn't do wind or water. Duck Tour was next! (She was a trooper and I deleted bad hair photos.) |
On land.....
and on sea!
A quick stop at Murdock's after the Duck Tour for postcards and I spotted cousins of my roommates in Thousand Oaks, CA!

| Pretty Hermit Crabs! (This one was for you, Mel!) |
Wicker bike hanging from the ceiling.... pretty cool.
A colorful rooster with an attitude.
Fun dancing!
Even the dog had a good time!
We crashed shortly after nine as, hey, we have another day in Galveston and the sun will be shinin' !
