Trip to Brazoria National Wildlife Refuge and Surfside Beach

sunny.gifToday was another beautiful sunny day. The minimum temperature was +13C and our maximum temps were +26C.

Today Ståle and Håvard took me down to the gulf coast. The original idea was a national park called Brazoria National Wildlife Refuge in Brazoria County, TX, just west of Galveston Island. This is a park that is normally known for its wonderful wildlife with alligators, incredible amounts of birds, frogs, plants, fish and other wildlife belonging to the marshes.
Unfortunately due to Hurricane Ike s the end of september
