Drive around Galveston Island on my first video of a Galveston Island Drive. Used my Gopro and filmed a trip around a good portion of Galveston Island including the sea drive on Seawall and along the port on Harborside, the opposite side of the island.
Galveston is an interesting place with colorful history and so much to see. Beautiful homes and corner stores from the early 1900's.
Galveston Island was considered uninhabitable by the indians. Pirates considered Galveston to be a dangerous place that would be safe to hide their treasure.
The military settled the island around 1817 with forts being destroyed every time a major hurricane came through as the island was low laying and had no protection from tidal surges.
Galveston was a popular slave trading destination as well as a growing military post that was disbanded because of the rapid spread of syphilis from the prostitutes in the Silk Stocking District.
Galveston County was formed and was a formidable port, delivering, buying, selling, exporting goods thru ships and train.
The Great Storm of 1900 destroyed 1/3 of Galveston Island killing over 6,000 people with a total population of 37,000. Many left Galveston Island and those who remained managed to raise the island by 8', 17' at the seawall mainly by pumping sand from the
Galveston Bay onto the island. The pictures from the 1900 storm and the reconstruction of the Island is very impressive and can be seen at the Galveston Historic Foundation.
Pier 21 Theatre is a must see if your in the area.

The guitar I used for the music is a Taylor 12-string recorded with an Zoom R-16 DAW. Bass was added using an Apogee Duet then mixed with Logic Pro on a Macbook Pro Retina.

Bartender's 42 years at Gaido's are as iconic as the restaurant | HTX+ GALVESTON
Gaido's Seafood Restaurant has been in business for more than 100 years, which makes it a true Galveston institution.
With great food also comes amazing drinks, and the man in charge of the bar is Roman De Los Santos, who has been mixing and pouring drinks at Gaido's for more than 40 years.
Roman's journey at Gaido's started when he casually stopped in for lunch after his friend had recommended Roman for a job.
I was actually 17 when I started to learn how to make drinks. To me it was fun, said Roman.
Roman will always be thankful for the opportunity he was given 42 years ago.

La Quinta Las Vegas Airport
Perfect view of the landing strip at the Las Vegas airport - but surprisingly quiet inside - actually wound up staying here 2 nights. Great staff, great hotel, great room - killer workout room. And cheap - just like me. So far NOTHING touches the La Quinta beds for sleepability. Location @ googlemap @ yolotraveller.com

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Houston ( (listen) HEW-stən) is the most populous city in the U.S. state of Texas and the fourth most populous city in the United States, with a census-estimated population of 2.312 million in 2017. It is the most populous city in the Southern United States and on the Gulf Coast of the United States. Located in Southeast Texas near Galveston Bay and the Gulf of Mexico, it is the seat of Harris County and the principal city of the Greater Houston metropolitan area, which is the fifth most populous metropolitan statistical area (MSA) in the United States and the second most populous in Texas after the Dallas-Fort Worth MSA. With a total area of 627 square miles (1,620 km2), Houston is the eighth most expansive city in the United States (including consolidated city-counties; it is the largest city in the United States by total area, whose government is similarly not consolidated with that of a county or borough).
Houston was founded by land speculators on August 30, 1836, at the confluence of Buffalo Bayou and White Oak Bayou (a point now known as Allen's Landing) and incorporated as a city on June 5, 1837. The city is named after former General Sam Houston, who was president of the Republic of Texas and had won Texas' independence from Mexico at the Battle of San Jacinto 25 miles (40 km) east of Allen's Landing. After briefly serving as the capital of the Texas Republic in the late 1830s, Houston grew steadily into a regional trading center for the remainder of the 19th century.The arrival of the 20th century saw a convergence of economic factors which fueled rapid growth in Houston, including a burgeoning port and railroad industry, the decline of Galveston as Texas' primary port following a devastating 1900 hurricane, the subsequent construction of the Houston Ship Channel, and the Texas oil boom. In the mid-20th century, Houston's economy diversified as it became home to the Texas Medical Center—the world's largest concentration of healthcare and research institutions—and NASA's Johnson Space Center, where the Mission Control Center is located.
Houston's economy has a broad industrial base in energy, manufacturing, aeronautics, and transportation. Leading in healthcare sectors and building oilfield equipment, Houston has the second most Fortune 500 headquarters of any U.S. municipality within its city limits (after New York City). The Port of Houston ranks first in the United States in international waterborne tonnage handled and second in total cargo tonnage handled. Nicknamed the Space City, Houston is a global city, with strengths in culture, medicine, and research. The city has a population from various ethnic and religious backgrounds and a large and growing international community. Houston is the most diverse metropolitan area in Texas and has been described as the most racially and ethnically diverse major metropolis in the U.S. It is home to many cultural institutions and exhibits, which attract more than 7 million visitors a year to the Museum District. Houston has an active visual and performing arts scene in the Theater District and offers year-roun ...

Cruise ship
A cruise ship or cruise liner is a passenger ship used for pleasure voyages, where the voyage itself and the ship's amenities are a part of the experience, as well as the different destinations along the way. Transportation is not the prime purpose, as cruise ships operate mostly on routes that return passengers to their originating port, so the ports of call are usually in a specified region of a continent. There are even cruises to nowhere or nowhere voyages where the ship makes 2-3 day round trips without any ports of call.
By contrast, dedicated transport oriented ocean liners do line voyages and typically transport passengers from one point to another, rather than on round trips. Traditionally, an ocean liner for the transoceanic trade will be built to a higher standard than a typical cruise ship, including high freeboard and stronger plating to withstand rough seas and adverse conditions encountered in the open ocean, such as the North Atlantic. Ocean liners also usually have larger capacities for fuel, victuals, and other stores for consumption on long voyages, compared to dedicated cruise ships.
