thanks so much for your kind words and based on what i’ve seen and what i’ve heard, you’d probably have a hard time recognizing the place as i think that it has changed quite a bit in the 16 years since you were here. i’ve visited the giant tortoise preserve up in the highlands today and hope to post some of the pictures and a video that i took of a very mobile tortoise over the next few days.
regards and thanks again,
gene

I was there in August 1993 and will never forget my trip. It’s a special place, and I hope you have a wonderful time, both professionally and personally. I look forward to following the rest of your trip!
