I Swam With Sharks!
I’m swimming with the sharks today but mainly with this one pregnant shark, Deloris, and she’s super nice. Most people might think they’re bad but they don’t even want to eat people.

I Visited the Neuschwanstein Castle

I Went To the Richest Place in the World
I went to Dubai for a week last week. It was very interesting. And I got to temporarily live in the palm islands. They’re called that because they are supposed to look like palm trees. But most of the people in Dubai don’t speak English. They have some weird laws based off of the Quran. Like they couldn’t show affection with their significant other in public. And it’s illegal to eat in public during fasting hours.

The Blue-Footed Booby Bird and Its Blue Feet Remind Me of Me
You are not going to believe how up close and personal my visit to the Galapagos was today.

Okay, not really, but I used my imagination and pretended I did.
