Dear traveling girls,
I would have posted sooner, but I kinda misplaced the camera, and since there was no maid--sister-- to keep track of it for me, I forgot it. But I got it back, don't worry, would I be writing to you if I hadn't?
All this to say, that some of the pictures will be blurry since they were taken with Dad's blackberry.
SO, last Friday, we went to Galveston for the day, and we brought Lizzie with us!
We started off going to a subsea drilling & oil museum...yeah, only people who work for the companies involved in that stuff, go there. But there were actually some interesting parts. After that we had lunch at Starbucks, and then went shopping/sight seeing downtown. We visited a candy shop, surf shops, boutique shops, and ( my favorite) antique shops.
Even though we don't have any pictures, the antique shops were fantastic, however, expensive! One of the antique shops had-- what I call-- a dream land of dress ups!! Beautiful dress ups, scarves, gloves, hats, etc. It was literally like a dream come true! And there were also some Lucky Indian Buffalo Head Nickel coins from the 20s that the lady showed us, plus marvel comic books which I would have bought ( if I knew what to buy), and old, old children toys. For example, mom recognized one of the old aluminum doll houses, the kind she used to play with...yeah, that kind of old. :P
The shopping extended to other parts of the building which as it turns out was an original late 1800's hotel with all the rooms in their original state!
All this to say that I was proven wrong, there is actually some neat places in Galveston.
These are just few of many pelicans that were resting on the rocks.
Lizzie and I could think of only one quote:
Dory:DUCK.
Marlin:[looks up] That's not a duck, it's a... PELICAN.
-Finding Nemo
Exclude the odd eyes, this shop was really nice.
FREE SAMPLES!
Not really, but that's what I thought.
A recycled-paper dress!
I thought of our dear friend the Naquins, when I saw that. :)

It was pretty windy!
First thing I thought when I saw this thing, was, " Look! A huge shadowbox!"
Though I have not obtained the photos yet, I'll be posting soon about a certain concert we went to on December 11th!
Love,
Caro :)

Hello, Elena,
Greetings, and Merry Christmas to you!! I have a question. I saw on the last post on Dubai that you mentioned there was a strong church in place. could you tell me something about it doctrinally, and whether it is mostly Westerners or nationals or both that attend. My son is interested in the church there and it would be a blessing to know more. Thanks you so much! PS could you leave that on my blog comment line under the post on Christmas quotes?? I might forget to look back and will naturally see it in my comments. Thanks again! Please give your dear Mother my warm regards!!
