Sunday

It was a little chillier today... High of 51... But the winds had died down a lot, so when we finally got out for a beach walk, after the first NFL playoff game was over (and wow! Glad we stayed for the ending!) it felt really nice outside.

The winds must have wreaked havoc on the wildlife, though.  We found this guy washed ashore.

And we also saw a couple of seagulls, and a gigantic pelican.  Poor critters!

The beach was empty when we headed out for the first 2 miles.

But it seemed like everyone else had waited for the end of the game too, because on the return trip back, the beach had filled in with other walkers and fishermen.

We're in for more cool-ish days for the next week or so... No 70's, or even 60's, in sight.  We were remembering our first trip to Galveston, though, when the overnight temps were getting into the upper 20's.  I don't think we'll have to worry about that!
