Galveston - August 26 and 27

After Port Aransas, we stayed in Galveston, TX. The RV park we stayed in was new, so there weren't many people staying there. We had the pool to ourselves. The beach was just a short walk away.

We drove through old Strand Historic District in Galveston and looked at the architecture. Some of the most interesting buildings are the iron-fronted buildings. We went to the Pier 21 Theater and watched "The Great Storm" (about the 1900 hurricane that killed approximately 6,000 to 8,000 people) and "The Pirate Island of Jean Laffite". We then took the Galveston Ferry to Point Bolivar and looked at some houses for sale in Crystal Beach. We both prefer the south end of Galveston Island, where the RV park was located. It's much less touristy.
