Pelican Island

We went over to Pelican Island yesterday where Mike had a close encounter with a brown pelican.  There's not a whole lot else over there except for a small park where there is a fishing pier, picnic facilites, and a submarine and another WWII era ship that you can tour.  Also, the Texas A&M, Galveston campus is there.  It houses the Texas Maritime Academy and oceanographic studies and well as other things.  It's also a good place to just sit and watch the birds, the ferries, and the ships going up the ship channel.
