Hurricane Ike hit Galveston/Crystal Beach with full force. Seven months later you can't drive or walk in the area without hearing a nail gun or sight of a work truck. The residents are working to get Galveston back, better than ever.Seeing the water line on the buildings downtown with the name IKE scribbled above make what I consider downtown's latest "folk art". Beautiful old homes were still standing,not without blemish.Cruise ships coming into port.Great food on every corner with French/Spanish influence and the gift of fresh seafood at the doorstep of the chef.
Philanthropy is abound in Galveston. It was apparent. Reading short excerpts in magazines,names on libraries,streets,buildings,etc. I have some research to do. The Moody family, who were they? Who were the founding fathers of Galveston I need to know. Contributing to the Galveston economy is easy. Enjoy yourself.
"Gulf Breeze" is a reality.After the participants swam over a mile, biked over 56 miles,ran over 13 miles it was the macho men athletes that needed the IV fluids,not the 80-100lb women of strenth. We were there on a mission. Mission Accomplished!!
Time for your Easter bonnet, t
