I was born and raised in Houston Texas and Galveston has some of the most beautiful buildings I've ever seen. There is a lot of history in Galveston. If you go down the Sea Wall and look to the right near some fancy Hotels, you can see the artillery bunkers where their barrels were aimed at the Gulf protecting us from Germany.
