    Dickens on the Strand , Galveston TX.

    Last weekend, 12/6th-7th, was the 35th annual 'Dickens on the Strand' Victorian Christmas fest in Galveston. It was a little smaller event this year in the aftermath of hurricane Ike, but a really good crowd came out to see the sights and support the Galveston community. Keep in mind that the streets you see here were under 8 to 12 feet of seawater during Ike's storm surge.

    here we are with our friend Sandy, who took most of the photos
