Glorious
Today was perfect weather...clear and around 80 with a cool breeze blowing all day. Left the hotel with Joe and Cody after last post and decided to go with them to watch Texas/OU game. After a bit of searching, found a great bar called Float that was open to the air and overlooking the Gulf. Turned out when you buy alcohol, you get a free breakfast burrito. And the fucker is HUGE, it ain't some McDonald's "taquito". Also had some fried pickles. Game was pissing off the straight boys, so we took the van and headed downtown to The Strand. Got to walk around inside the Grand 1894 Opera House, where we will be playing on Tuesday. Decided to take a brief boat tour of Galveston Harbor to see some dolphins, which we did. First time I've seen them with my own eyes. It was pretty amazing. Walked around A LOT, then met Billie and Phil G. at another bar called The Poop Deck. Decided we were hungry, and Billie was on a quest for oysters. Went back to The Strand and couldn't find any place serving oysters, so after lots more walking we ended up at a pretty cool place called Yaga. I had a shrimp po boy which was pretty good. Came back to hotel to chill out. Joe, Cody and Rick went back out to find a cool bar. Billie and Phil G stayed in, and I went back out to the beach to chill out with the waves for a bit. Hit the Kroger for some milk and some granola bars, then back here. Got a little sunburnt while on the dolphin tour. Going to try to get a disposable camera tomorrow and try to get some photos up. Another free day tomorrow. I wish every stop was like this.
