Crystal Beach - Saturday

The Treasure Isle Tour guy told us on Friday that the Saturday morning tour usually has enough people, so we made the trek over again on Sat morning.

Waiting for the tour to start.

This was a fascinating tour, and I fell in love with the history of Galveston with all the hurricanes, old houses, etc. If you know me at all, you know I am a sucker for historic houses. There were about 500 on this tour. Such a neat city. I really did not appreciate it when I visited the first time. Maybe that was because I was too busy fighting for food at the trough at Golden Corral. But that's a story for another time!

A lot of the old trees were killed by the salt water from Hurricane Ike, but they turned them into sculptures.

Tin Man and Toto sculpture. Kind of fun b/c Henry B fell in love with The Wizard of Oz while on this trip. Turns out that the man who directed the Kansas scenes in the movie lived in this house.
