STILL AROUND

Off the bike but still around, decided to make use of the Motel 7night special offer, If you stay on for a week you get a  good reduced rate, so I've been enjoying the sights of Galveston Island and the  Seawall beaches, great place to relax and chill-out.


Moody Mansion 32 rooms filled with opulent furnishings and heirlooms bought for "ten cents on the dollar" after the 1900 huge storm



Retired jack-up rig converted into a three-story museum

"Miss Michelle " Old Army Landing Craft "

Took a Tour with " Duck Tours "  today, which takes you through the Historical District, The Strand area and then the "Duck" which is a old Army Landing Craft enters the water and then takes you around the waterfront docks called "Offats Bayou"

Entering the water


Moody Gardens and the 3 Glass Pyramids, 1 contains fascinating exhibits plus a 3-D Imax Theater, the next Rainforest home to birds, fish, butterflies and plants from Asia, Africa and South America, the last one is a Aquarium and is the largest of the three pyramids and boasts 1.5 million gallons of acquatic environments representing the oceans of the world.




Great  vehicle for "Die Hel Trips "





I  wonder what the "Historical Committee" would say if I put this on-top of the Windmill  @ Dennehof
