Greetings from Texas!

Hi All

The first photo shows us entering the great State of Texas. That's State # 43 for me (that is

States which I've visited at least once).

Next up is the Battleship (BB35) USS Texas. Permanently moored in Houston, TX since

1948. One of the first warships ever preserved.

Picture Number 3 & 4 shows some of the beautiful architecture on Galveston Island. Galveston

is a town on the Gulf of Mexico which was hit by Hurricane Ike in September of 2008.

There was severe damage throughout the town but the community came together and

most of the homes have been restored. The more notable homes have a plaque on the walls

indicating where the high water mark was. Some as high as 5 feet!

Picture Number 5 shows another Oil Rig Museum which I visited, the Ocean Star. Owned by the Ocean Energy Company which also owned the Oil Rig Ocean Ranger which capsized and sank off the east coast of

Canada some years back.

Our final picture shows part of Galveston Harbour including the Carnival Cruise Ship Ecstasy.

So there you have our latest collection.

We found a wonderful campground in Houston and we've been able to “hot tub it” two nights

in a row!

So long for now!
