We did some sightseeing in Galveston today. This first picture is of the statue Victory commemorating the Battle of Jacinto where Texas won its independence from Mexico.

Below is one of the beautiful old houses of Galveston.

Next we went to end of the island along the ship channel to the port of Houston. As I noted in a previous post. The Port of Houston is the largest port in the US. Here are some views of a ship passing through the ship channel.


Above were looking through the shipping channel toward Galveston Bay. The ferry that crosses the shipping channel can be seen in the distance. Below are some of the birds keeping us company while we are watching the ships and the dolphins playing in the ship channel.


A tanker going through the pass. Below you can see the ferry shuttling vehicles across the shipping channel from Galveston to the Bolivar peninsula.


Above, a view of the seawall road. Below, is a view of our beach at the campground. In Texas, you can drive (at your own risk) on the beaches.
