We spoke to Brendan, my dad, and my sister yesterday. The weather in Rodrigues has been awful for the past couple of days, pouring rain. My dad said that it is the worst weather that he has seen since moving to Rodrigures. Luckily, they saw Rodrigue's mascot before it started raining. ;) Brendan let us know that there are approximately two hundred tortoises in Rodrigues. He shared, "There are baby tortoises. There are five, six, seven, and eight-year-old tortoises. There are tortoises that are twenty, fifty, and some are even one hundred." Hopefully, he will remember visiting his grandfather when he is 90 or even 100.
Join our family as we travel across the United States and around the world via books, maps, memories, and an occasional real trip.
