As quickly as it came, the sun went away. We left Brazos Bend for Galveston Island
State Park and arrived there in wind and rain. We had arranged to meet my brother and sister-in-law for the weekend.
They were staying in the historic Galvez Hotel and we were to stay in the state park. The plans were to divide our time between beach and state park and great seafood and a little pampering at the Galvez. But mother nature had other ideas...
The temperature dropped into the low 40’s. That plus the 35 mph wind and rain made us want to stay
inside something - the RV, the hotel or a good seafood restaurant and eat and drink warm things.
The Galvez is a lovely, historic hotel and it was fun to explore it. We did a little driving around Galveston as we hadn't been there since before Hurricane Rita. Galveston looks like it has recovered well except for those beautiful old oak trees that are no longer with us.
We only toughed
it out for two days but we did have some great seafood, clam chowder and lots
of coffee. It was fun to be with my brother,
Tim and his wife, Linda even though we didn’t get in any ‘beach time.’
