I have attached a link to a group of photos of historic homes in the East End of Galveston, www.travelphotobase.com/s/TXGH.HTM.
I added these hoping to show that Galveston is not all about the seawall.
These photos were taken before Hurricane Ike. You can see how many old trees lined the streets. Almost all of them were killed in the salt water surge that came before the storm.
Our house took in 11 inches of water. Houses three blocks down the street had 6 feet of water.
Our house is on the fifth row of pictures, on the left. Wish we had the trees back. Oh, and we just spent $950 to have four of the stumps ground out - six more to go.
