Hi Mr. Szymanski! ! I really miss you! Are you going to bump into some fairies next? Btw, that's not a real troll so he can't be nice or cranky😊. Tell your mom hi and have fun!

Inigo Blu, that was a REAL troll! What are you talking about? I am looking for fairies and will ask one of the naturalists about that! We had a fantastic talk about tectonic plates! I can't wait to post videos and pictures. I miss you to the bottom of that troll's toes! :) Mr. S.

Well hello my smelly love bug, minion! Well, it wasn't a killer whale that I ate. I am learning a lot about trolls here. You will see some more posts about them very soon! Some are nice and some are not. Very interesting. The whale was delicious, really. It kind of had a meat texture - which makes sense because they are mammals after all! There was a tasty sauce on it so it took on a sweet, tangy flavor. The meat itself was "gamey" which is what they call animals that are more "wild" in nature when you eat them - like deer, rabbit, etc. I would eat it again if there was someone with me who had never had it before. I don't know that I would eat it again. The food is SO GOOD here and so many options - though mostly fish! The best fish I have ever had! Love you! Mr. S.
