I was trying to be a small part of your winter trip towards the southwest by going through your content!
However, taking a break in your wife's friend's place was the correct decision, else, I wouldn't be able to witness the smart frog reading a book in a stylish pose!
I don't know whether you are aware of it or not the three frogs you have taken pic are something in India also found in three monkeys;
The phrase is also related to Mahatma Gandhi,
(The father of our nation-India)
India's famous champion of peace!
Though it was associated with three wise monkeys, from Japan!
"Mizaru(the name of the money):-To see no evil!
Kikazaru:-(another monkey):-hear no evil, and Iwazaru:-(the third one)speak no evil!"
When you reach your destination, get the opportunity to straighten your legs, I guess that give you some rest! Looking for your upcoming story, stay blessed!
Thank you very much for your additional information and for your good wishes for the trip. Yes, I will continue to report and keep you updated.
All the best to you too!
