BIG ! in Galveston




 Our arrival to Galveston....exciting event for the city !!
 The whole town is thrilled to have Carnival ships start the weekly port stops to their city. It will be great for their economy.
Overhead welcome...
Charming city

Grand Bahama....day 2

We rented a car for both days + drove around the island. Enjoyed a morning @ Garden of the Groves...former residence + now a 12 acre wildlife habitat + a lovely lush tropical garden with 10,000 species of plants.  



This was a quiet lunch place @ beach away from town.
 And...this was a quiet + remote white sandy beach we discovered.
Our very own "paradise" ...for an afternoon.   :>)

Grand Bahama

We spent 2 warm + sunny days on this island.
  This was a change in our port stops so the "Magic" could have some minor ship repair.
 Since this was the inaugural Transatlantic cruise for this new ship, they gave us a grand welcome to their port.
This is their Port Lucaya Beach....
Jim at Pelican Bay near Lucaya Market Place.
Straw baskets + local shells for sale, of course.
