It is 8AM and bird walk time so we head up to the visitor center. Surprise.  Who do we find waiting there; two of our fellow 2014 Aransas volunteers.  We spent a few hours catching up on things and chatting about future travels.  They and another couple (Sally and Harry) are heading to Alaska this summer.  They are putting the finishing touches on their travel plans so we gave them our two cents worth of recommendations and experiences.
