It was such a long night!  The wildlife was very active, with the insects, birds and other creatures of the night contributing to the nocturnal symphony. We particularly enjoyed the pack of wolves (it sounded like wolves, but Angela though they could have been coyotes) as they howled together, possibly celebrating a kill? It was […]

We met Anna today while waiting in line for a ride at Disney Hollywood Studios. She is an awesome teacher, and we did this each time our paths intersected.
