I enjoyed the afternoon with Janet from Illinois. The weather was absolutely perfect and the water clear. Janet has an excellent shelling eye and a great knowledge of the shells. I was most impressed. The time seemed to fly as we walked and talked. We talked about Ann Morrow Lindbergh and shells from from far away places. Some of the favorite finds were an “almost albino”whelk, an albino cockle, sunrise tellins, and tusk shells. Thank you Janet from Illinois for an educational walk and talk on the beach.

    Just want to say thanks again for a great trip. It was really amazing how I mentioned that I'd love to find a Sunrise Tellin, a shell that I'd read about but never seen before, and in the next hour or so we found several! I'm looking forward to cleaning up that pretty welk. Love the smell of shells boiling on the kitchen stove. It's the next best thing to being there! Looking forward to another trip some day. All the best to you!
