Haha, none! I get this question a lot. Actually, I'm usually down one or two kilograms when I come back from the US (stress probably) and they're quickly gained back with Mommatastic's food 😇) When in the US, I keep the same weight as I balance my meals. I don't show everything that I eat on videos, the ones that appear are usually not that healthy and they don't represent the majority of my meals. I also walk a lot during my travels and try to work out whenever possible. The goal is to stay healthy to explore as much as possible 😁

Marie, it's so awesome seeing you finding all the wildlife around you and pointing it out. So many people don't take the time to see it, and it's something that I feel makes any adventure more memorable. I cringed a bit when you mentioned that you had things happen to you. The downside of nonstop adventure is both physical and mental fatigue, and with fatigue the possibility of injury or illness increases. Luckily, you're still young so it's less likely to happen, but it's still something to be aware of. I know when it comes to me and my adventures, I go all out and expend all of my energy and end up having to recuperate at work!🤣 Congratulations on your new shirt! You know you've officially "made it" when you have your own merch line! 😃 I look forward to seeing that last bit of your time here in the States! Take care and keep smiling!

My 6-year old son spotted an original 427 Cobra in a town near us popular with the rich and famous. Talked to the owner. Only 330 or so were made. Worth at least a cool million. Carroll Shelby made 2 personal ones. Gave one to his friend who, of course, wrecked it. Carroll’s recently sold for $6 million I think. It’s crazy. 427 w/twin superchargers. 800 hp in late 60’s. 😂😂

Very few AC Cobras were 427. The vast majority were the mark 1 and mark 2 with the 289 engine, which were substantially different chassis from the mark 3 used for the 427 (Only about 100 were the 427 "competition" model and half of those were converted to street legal and sold as "S/C".). AC also sold some 289 variants in Europe, but they were not finished by Shelby American.

They are all less than 200 pages so they are quick to read. Good stories all. When you're home and it's raining some night, that would be a good night for a storybook from your Kansas Grandpa. The Christmas Story is called 'Murphy, The Prince & The Deer Who Could Fly' I think I'll also send the most recent, 'When All The Pieces Come Together. It involves Native Americans on a secluded lake in Northern Wisconsin. It will remind you of your time in Minnesota. Minnesota and Wisconsin are very much alike. ... Yes, I think I'll do that. You live a pretty busy life. You might not have time to read them until you are very old. But If I send them, You will at least have them when you are wanting a good story. Be well Marie...

One word of warning, (that you may already know), after seeing the caterpillar on your shoe, if you have a brightly colored caterpillar/insect/etc on your clothes don't try to remove it or brush it off with your bare hands, especially if it has hairs, bristles, or is fuzzy. There's a reason that they aren't colored to blend in with their surroundings. They are most often poisonous and/or have severe stinging abilities so they don't have to worry about hiding from predators.

If you ever want to mentally recapture how the local Connecticut forests and lakes look, in the summer, you could try streaming the movie Friday the 13th Part 2 (1981)! It was filmed in Kent and New Preston, Connecticut, in the summer of 1980. Most of the movie is filmed in daylight, so it isn't really very scary. Mystic Pizza is another good Connecticut movie, and also Another Earth, starring Brit Marling. The movie Tell-Tale (2009) was filmed in Rhode Island, by the way. I'm not sure if you got to visit there, but it's also very pretty. Tell-Tale starred Lena Headey and Josh Lucas, you should be able to find it, knowing that.
