Mornings in Galveston ALWAYS begin with a cup of coffee on the balcony with my hubby. It is the absolute best way for us to start our morning!!!
Today we are going to drive to the pier to see what, if anything, is going on. The drive is relaxing and usually takes about a half hour or so to get there. There is a house that we pass by that is for sale. It is a beautiful on the outside… so grand and majestic. And it is water front. The pictures do not do it justice.
When we finally arrived at Pier 21, there were workers setting up the stage for the Maroon 5 concert. We walked around the pier for a while then left to drive around the island just taking it all in. We went back to the condo to rest and relax with plans to go back to town later.
We decided we wanted to watch the Mariner of the Seas leave this evening. Instead of watching from Pier 21, went to Port San Jacinto Historic Point. It is at the end of Seawall Boulevard on the east side of the island. Very is easy to get to and it was not crowded at all. Mostly people fishing. Watching the ship traffic as the sun set was while listening to the waves crashing was truly amazing. This is now our favorite place to watch the ships.
Afterwards we were hungry and decided we would go to Salsa’s for dinner. Salsa’s is located on Seawall Boulevard and is very easy to get in and out of. We enjoys trying new (to us) Mexican restaurants and this one did not disappoint. The dinner and cocktails were very good.
On our way back to the condo, we stopped at a RedBox to get a couple of movies. Once we were back to the condo, Jim and Dawson watched the movies while I worked on our door decorations for our stateroom on the ship.
Our day was over and we were tired. We are looking forward to the adventures the next day would bring.
Coming up in installment #5… morning coffee with a view, searching for a whale tail, 2 meet and greets in one day and saying good bye to the Carnival Conquest.
