If we are to take some lessons from each city, then Galveston stood at top as it preaches us to rise above from devastated past. It shows that how a new identity can be build by sheer persistence and hard labor. I went twice to Galveston, and both the times spend most of my day sitting on its beach. It was pretty hot and humid there. Though we put loads of sunscreen on our face and hands but that of no avail. Sun did left tell tale marks on my arms. Since I do not know swimming, so I just while away my time watching immense body sea and the secrets it beholds in its bosom.
I kept wondering that how this abyss body of water is all quite at top, does not even show a single sign of its turbulent underneath. After all that's what I believe, as there is full life force thriving
inside it. Only a small waves which rises and falls could be seen at the sea shores much like our thoughts, one after another endlessly. Otherwise this deep blue sea is all quite, unperturbed at the top trying to merge with the sky in the far horizon. I think that is most of us does, trying to keep a cool impassive face with little smile in public and hiding our chaotic self. I just could not take my mind off from the tragedy it suffered not so long ago. Cottages and houses have sprang back again on sea shores area.
There were plenty of tourist either swimming or just leisure at the sea shore. Most of the children were busy making sand castles, dogs running chasing birds away, and of course the almighty sea witnessing them all.

After spending quite a time there, we went to main market, not very far away, to grab some food.

We went to famous ice cream parlor to quench our thirst and were served with sumptuous portion of milk shake and huge ice cream cups, which we could not finish. After taking stroll down the street, we had very tasty lunch in restaurant. There were two huge ships docked at its port, I could see lots of tourist embarking on it.
So dear friends, this is Galveston for me. Strong, ready to move forward, overcoming hurdles.
Happy Journey:-)
