GALVESTON ISLAND

THIS MORNING WE DECIDED TO MAKE THE TRIP DOWN TO GALVESTON ISLAND---oops so off we went on a round trip around to the island and back again...we had to take a ferry over to the island the way we went but no on the return trip...the scenery reminded us and several different places we have been in the past...

off the ferry and into town where we went to the visitors center for some info..we decided tp park the truck and go to a seafront museum..which we fouund most interesting..alot of it was about shrimping in the area and how much they bring into the economy...we haven't bought any yet but it is on the list of things to buy one of these days..
we also picked u a brochure about some of the carving you see in the pictures..after hurricane ike went thru in 2008 there were alot of really big old trees that came down ..so instead of cutting them all down to the ground someone decided to carve things in them...so we picked up a map of the carvings and tried to see most of them (there are over 20 or more) so we made a good dent in seeing some...they are of dogs-sea life-frogs-one is of the tin man from the wizard of oz and that statue is in front of the directors of the movie..

decided to eat lunch out and we picked an english pub so of course i had fish and chips which was very goo and lar had crab cakes...

so another delightful day on the road...
