Just got back from Galveston for the 4th of July where the record was set for the hottest 4th in recorded history.You can hardly tell a hurricane ever hit the island driving on Seawall Blvd.The job they have done cleaning up and getting businesses running down there is unbelieveable.The sand looks lighter and there is no seaweed on the beach at all.The water looks better than I have ever seen it and the place really looks cleaner all over.Several hotels and businesses have completely redone their interiors and exteriors of their buildings.Overall a top 3 Galvez trip!!!

The Mermaid souvenir shop was a pile of wood
