Galveston

<-- the car ferry

gets the thumbs up -->

The road leading into Galveston is lined with green trees that arch overtop. In the centre, the historical district has beautiful Victorians with tall white columns. There are not many fences between properties.

The beach side is a disappointment. Beside the beach are Seawall Boulevard's 4 (+2 for parking) lanes of paving putting pay to any possibility of paradise. Plenty of parking and not many cars in the fast food places with the faded paint, a couple of dodgy hotels, and some empty lots. In the 60's there must have been a mayor who could get things done.

The car ferry is big fun.
