I had such a great visit in Walden Colorado!
I grabbed this photo as I drove into town.
Hanging out with some of my new friends at the Walden elementary. Thank you Mrs. Anderson!

Always love to see smiling faces in my journaling classes!

Hi Payton,
Thank you for the post on my blog! I’m glad you are enjoying the videos, it makes all the hard work worth it! That’s really great that you are writing in your journal, I hope you continue it for a long time, it will serve you well!
A fashion designer is a great dream to have, creating ways for people to feel good about the cloths they wear!
When I was growing up, I could not of imagined I would one day be inspiring young people to have dreams. I feel very grateful to have this opportunity!
Do you want to see the gorillas one day in the wild?
Cheers,
Dean

Hi Hannah,
Thank you for the posting on my blog! I’m glad you are enjoying the videos, it makes all the hard work worth it! I don’t have a favorite country, everywhere I go, I meet interesting people and see new and wonderful things. That’s fun your parents enjoyed the program too!
The kids usually loved learning the hokey pokey, don’t you think it’s fun?

Hi Madison!
Thank you for the post on my blog and your kind words, it is sincerely appreciated. I don’t have a favorite country, everywhere I go, and I meet interesting people and see new and wonderful things. I’m glad you are enjoying the videos; it makes all the hard work worth it! As a biologist, I tend to like all the animals I encounter.
I guess you’ll have to get my autograph the next time I come to Walden! I learn small parts of the languages of the places I visit to be respectful. I lover traveling the world, wouldn’t you? The old man with the pigeons was going to the Notre Dam Cathedral in Paris France.
Thank you again for all the kind words!
Where do you want to travel to one day?
Cheers,
Dean

Hi George,
Great to hear from you again, thank you for the post on my blog. I’m glad you enjoyed the stories and images about Egypt. I did take some photos of inside the pyramids, I was just looking at them last night!
I saw the pandas on a different journey, which is why I don’t show them in the presentation you watched.
Happy to have you along for the journey George!

Hi Mason,
Thank you for the posting on my blog. Mount Everest is an amazing place; it was so beautiful it made the hair stand up on my arms. Africa is a very special place and has all kinds of habitats. It even snows on the mountaintops of some of the volcanoes! Where in Africa would you like to explore?
I’ve ridden elephants, camels, horses, cows but never a giraffe. Many countries have different ways of doing things, that’s for sure.
I’m glad you learned so much in our time together!
Cheers,
Dean
