Galveston is an island in Texas. On http://www.galveston.com this official website, you can get many imformation about Galveston such as historical, political, economic and education, future prospection, life and scenic spots, traffic and hotel lodgings, realtime images and weather conditions and so on. What special is that from (http://galveston.com/secondlife) this website I noted about they built a Galveston in Second Life,too. Since in real life we can’t immediately flight there for a trip, it’s a great idea to have a look at the virtual Galveston island.

When you arrive the island the first sight you will see is Galveston Historical Center.

When you walk out of TX-Moody Garden, to see Hilton hotel on the sea.

You should relax yourself after you check in, you can have a walk on the breakwater where we just introduced, and discretionally enjoy the scenery of island. If you distantly overlook the island, there are still many distinctive buildings there and you should flip through it if you have time.
