Greetings from Galveston!

Well, this year, for the first time since I have been at Marquette (during the spring semester), I am not attending MU Crew’s Spring Break in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Upon returning from my year in Germany, my younger sister proposed spending our spring break holiday together and venturing down to Galveston, Texas, with a few friends. The alternative, while equaling relaxing, would have lacked sun and the chance of a “true” (stereotypic-American) spring break experience. (Plus, the price tag was rather affordable.) So, of course, I agreed.

Now, our week is nearing its end, and, besides the fact that I have done little work on my term papers or the case study I had packed, the week has been wonderful. The six of us have enjoyed the sun, sand, swimming, and sightseeing here on Galveston Island to its fullest.

Today the temperature struggles to reach the fifties and it was raining when I awoke at 08:00, but, never fear! We have alternative plans for our last day on the beach…we are going to explore the island a bit more and tour the Strand District and Galveston’s Victorian Homes.
