Before leaving, we wanted to maximize our time in beautiful Galveston. We took a short hike along the beach and returned via the famous seawall.

Unfortunately we had to move. We wished we could have stayed longer.
The USA RV Resort Lake Cove is clean, on a small pond. We have nice views. Most of the residents are contractors, working for the oil industry.
We drove a short distance to Houston. On the way we stopped in East Downtown Houston at an intersection with amazing murals by the 8th Wonder Brewery
We drove around the city and it looks like a lot has been rebuilt since hurricane Harvey.
We took a stroll in the Cullen Sculpture Garden near the Houston Museum of Fine Arts. There were bronze sculptures from Miro, Rodin, Matisse, Marini, and more. The egg is by an Indian artist, Anish Kapoor.

from the top of the terrace Cistern Tour |
We never had a tour of a city drinking water reservoir so this was a change for us, the Buffalo Bayou Park Cistern on Sabine street. The tour docent tells you more than you ever wanted to know about the Houston water history, but then we do this...
We had a deafening echo of a good 17 seconds! Awesome!
It would have been fun to come back when they had the light show together with the art work installed at the bottom of the cistern, which were a bunch of Styrofoam white cubes that were floating around. The mirror effect of the water with the columns made the space look even bigger.
Nearby the cistern, there was a skateboard park.
