Movin' On

Our last night in Galveston after 4 great days. I don't know what it is about this place but it has a certain vibe. There are oil drilling platforms in the harbor, probably being re-fitted for their next job. They are HUGE.

We took a tour on one which was no longer in service, it was big but was dwarfed by the modern ones.

We learned a lot about how these things work. It's amazing what an industry can do with unlimited funds.

There was a Disney cruise ship in the harbor this afternoon, which was just departing as we left the oil rig. Big boat!

From what we could hear on the pier I would have to guess that Mickey had everyone doing shooters at the bar.

It's almost time for supper but I have a couple of shots I have to show you.

A sunrise on the gulf;

The sign that is photo-bombing the picture says "Stay off the Dunes". Ironically, there really haven't been any dunes here since the hurricane of 2008.

Next, the newly rebuilt Galveston pier. We didn't go there but its an impressive sight at night from the Seawall Blvd.

Oh, and just one more.....BUCKET LIST!!!!!

Next post I want to talk about these, they are nasty!!

Chicken on a bun tonight, BBQ'd by yours truly. Gotta go.
