Exploring the Places No One is Talking About
I know I haven’t posted as much as I intended this summer. I have been busy, in good ways: Honestly, this last part has taken the most time because for trip like this you have to get the animals in shape as much as you do yourself, along with getting all their health stuff sorted,
So this series has been very delayed. It was never meant to be delayed this long I just didn’t get around to it because I got busy and distracted with life. So I’m playing catch-up. Blame the video editing – it takes forever and I’m still working on my book. Yes, I’m actually working on
