My good friends Josie and Peter cut short their vacation to New Orleans to take the train to Houston and visit with us for a quick weekend. On Saturday we went to the Space Center Houston where their friend Scorch dreamed of flying on the Space Shuttle.

Sunday, we took them to Brazos Bend, this time remembering the binoculars. We saw not only a lot of alligators but also a new bird for Mike and I – a White-Faced Ibis.
