ALWAYS GOOD TO ASK SOMEONE TO TAKE OUR PHOTOS

ENJOYING THE RIDE

ON THE FERRY!!

ARRIVING AT BOLIVAR

Our last full day in Galveston and  we made the most of the beautiful day. We jumped on our bikes and took off to explore areas we had not been before. First we rode around a new condo area just east of the RV resort on the bay, and then we had the idea to take the free car/passenger ferry from Galveston to Bolivar landing and back again. We just walked on with our bikes. What a fun way to spend an hour. We saw great views of Galveston, lots of seabirds, dolohin and pelicans flying over head. We then pedalled our way into downtowna nd stopped at the Mod Coffee shop for a latte and a shared ham/brie bagel. After that we rode down to the wahrf and picked up a while fresh Grouper and half a dozen jumbo shrimp for the BBQ tonight. On the way back to the RV we cycled through the streets of Galveston and admired the architecture. We clocked only 20km but had a great time. Back at the RV we got organized for our departure tomorrow, did a laundry load and battened down the hatches so to speak. We also cleaned off out bikes. They got so rusty in the short time we were here.. the salt air is a corrosion problem. But we hope to have them back to 'new' with some TLC when we get to Tucson. Derek once again proved to be master of the BBQ fish and we reveled in the taste of fresh grouper and shrimp. We did some planning for our route tomorrow.
