Dickens on the Strand 2008 – Galveston
It was a gorgeous weekend to stroll down The Strand; meeting, greeting and
chatting with visitors from the days of Dickens. Queen Victoria herself,
accompanied by her Beefeaters and Father Christmas, enjoyed the children playing
in the streets while vendors hawked their wares and entertainers filled each
corner with music of all sorts.
We started the morning off with a traditional English breakfast, in the Ashton
Villa. Even in the stages of restoration, this lovely building is still able to
recreate the ambience of yesteryear. Dining tables were arranged in the ballroom
and breakfast was served as guests enjoyed the Celtic music of Wyndnwyre.

of the Bay as we enjoy the morning at the Ashton Villa and
then the Dickens on the Strand.

Years ago, Dickens on the Strand was started in order to raise funds to help
with the restoration of the historic district of downtown Galveston. And now,
after Ike, the funds raised by this event will help with the rebirth of the
beautiful historic buildings in the downtown district.
