As a special treat to leave Ika with a lasting great memory of the Island, we went to the San Luis Hotel Spa for a ladies day out. What was in store for us, we never imagined.  This beautiful 5-star hotel overlooking the seawall is known as one of the finest in Galveston, complete with swimup bar, extraordinary steakhouse and oft-chosen wedding venue.  We dropped the caddie off with the complimentary valet and went in to be pampered with a mimosa and 45 minute pedicure.  We were both feeling pretty good when we left the spa to tour the hotel grounds.  As we approached a side lobby we found a couple of high school kids from Beaumont Reptile Rehab offering pictures with their reptiles, and as you can see I choose the 15 year old red-tailed boa.  She was a sweetheart (of course I did ask if she had been fed recently before handling her).  Ika loved this picture-taking opportunity, and I think she did a pretty good job:)  You just never know when wandering around the Island what you might come across!  For more pics ~ see “ikalundin.blogg.se”
