ok... I took very few photos on the trip, but here are some

Ok... those smears in the sky are bats. Yeah, my phone is clearly not good at bats photos. Anyway, there is a bridge in downtown Houston that is home to 300,000 bats! Mexican free tailed.

My favorite Galveston beach photo, east end of the island. Man! That armpit of a town sure brings me so much "comfort good vibes" kind of stuff. Lived there as a little kid, and then spent my teen years, as soon as I could drive, just sitting on the beach at night... just thinking and enjoying the peace.

A concrete jetty. I like the contrast of the waves on the right, calm on the left. Lots of locals out on it, as well as sand bars far left catching food. Tiny fish and tiny crabs.

Beach and birds

Kid 2 walking out. Shallow, shallow!! I forgot how far out it stays shallow.

An open air Museum in Houston with an old cabin.

The shiny, shiny car I got to rent.

The super tiny plane I got to ride in from Homer to Anchorage

I admire your ability to find the positive amongst a sea of negative!

I’m gonna have that Galveston song stuck in my head all day.
