Killing Time in Galveston

[immortalthief]

After the Queen of Spade burned and McLeod left for Alaska there wan't much left to do Amanda decided to start ride her horse letting her mind wander, as it wandered she began remembering Milliways, it has been so long since she had been there thinking back she realizes that it has been over two and a half centuries since a door has opened.

After almost a week of wandering Amanda passes by a sign

"Welcome to Galveston"

A small quirk of a smile creased her lips as she thought of her friend blonde friend. The horse stopped in front of the tavern, wrapping the reins around a post she enters the bar and takes a seat. When the barkeep asked for her order she says, "Ale." rethinking that, "No, make that a Bourbon."

Galveston's not a big island, it's true, but inasmuch as any place out West can emulate New York City, it sure is putting up a rousing effort. Houston may be the biggest city in Texas per capita, but Galveston is where the business is.

Kate listens with fascination to each one of Amanda's stories, grinning broadly at how much history she's seen with her own eyes.

"I think the founders were tryin' awful hard t'turn Galveston into somethin' special, like New York. They brought in all kinds of artists for their buildin's. An' y'know somethin'? A lotta famous folk come 'round here."

So it must be working.

"New York has it's charms...mostly it's conveniences, so as much of that as they want to emulate all the better. But Galveston certainly seems to have it's own personality. Which is what keeps life interesting."

Amanda points out one of the buildings to the left and guesses at the artist.

"Is there anyplace worth shopping? I believe this visit will require different attire than what I brought from San Francisco."
