Galveston


Remember these words sung by Glenn Campbell: "Galveston, oh Galveston, I still hear your sea winds blowing.......sea waves crashing"?   We've just settled in at Galveston Island State Park, and are listening to the the sea waves crashing and feeling the sea winds blowing on our skin; absolutely lovely!   The beach is natural, with normal beach flotsam and jetsam as washed up by the tides: seaweed, shells, driftwood; dead fish and crabs serve as a feast for the seagulls, live ones a feast for the pelicans and seagulls fishing in the water near the beach. This beach is also CLEAN - little to no man-made debris, unlike the beach I kvetched about in yesterday's posting.  There are few people, and those who are here appear to treat this area with the respect it deserves.  I'll leave it at that for now, and just share some photos from today.


What a beautiful beach!

Katie Miervaldis - this one's for you!  Missing you.
