We are camped between Houston and Galveston and the area is as busy as Bob remembers it from his travels here. After Sue spent time with Alan Avery-Peck, the Jewish Scholar at Holy Cross, we have made it a point to visit Holocaust Museums and memorials as we travel through this country. The Houston Holocaust Museum was established by survivors of the Holocaust who relocated to the Houston area. The tour guide did an excellent job of explaining the museum and the horrors of the Holocaust.
It is an excellent museum but we were definitely impacted more by the Holocaust Museum in Washington, DC.
It has been less than 2 years since Hurricane Ike hit Galveston and the Houston area. We took a ride down through Galveston and there was still obvious signs of the destruction from the hurricane. The Gulf of Mexico and the beaches are definitely an attraction for Galveston. The Galveston Bay allows for much port activities both in Galveston and the Bay area towards Houston. The oil industry is obvious from all of the refineries that are visible as you look from Galveston towards Houston. There were a number of nice campgrounds in Galveston and we did gather some literature for future reference.
