Just posting a few quick photos from Galveston. Have been here since Thursday evening and it has been an adventure weatherwise. It's easy to imagine this town being swept away in the great hurricane of 1900 as we arrived here during an extremely turbulent windy weather pattern and were in 30-35 mph winds for the first 24 hours. Camped out in the van one of those nights and it was like being on a carnival ride!
We took a long walk into the wind along the seawall on Friday morning and it was quite a challenge, as it was incredibly windy and also cold - about 52 degrees I think. By late yesterday, the sun found its way back into the good graces of Galveston and the wind had died down to your normal coastal breezes and occasional gust. This morning our walk was much nicer. Only slightly windy and really sunny and beautiful. Here are a few photos from Galveston.
