Galveston, Texas on Holiday
Galveston, Texas is a photographer's delight. Plenty of turn-of-the-century architecture, Queen Anne Victorian style homes, and other historic points of interest. With a little luck, one might get a good deal at the Treemont House , an exquisite four star hotel located in the historic Strand district. We managed such a deal during spring break, of all times, which seems counter intuitive for a beach town. Has to do with its location, as in, not on the beach. That's actually an asset during spring break. The ferry across the bay is good for ship watching. Good bird watching too. The Strand Historic District. Particularly bad hurricanes are noted. The very impressive Bishop's Palace. The four star Tremont House provides excellent accommodations in the historic district.
