bouaboua visit.

[wellington]

about 3 hours of none stop talking and enjoying pictures and forum talk. Both this one and the Chinese forum that Steven helps to spread the word on.
Such a nice guy. So fun actually talking tortoise, not just typing tortoises.
I am so happy he contacted me. Thanks Yvonne, I believe you had a little to do with it.
He is in Chicago a couple times a year for business. Hopefully his wife, will be able to some day make the trip with him. I told Steven she could hang out with me all day while he went to work.
Thanks @bouaboua for a great visit and sharing all your tortoise pics with me and those of your Chinese forum friends.

Isn't he just such a nice guy? And a very good sense of humor.

 

[bouaboua]

Pleasure and honor are all mine, Barb~~

I see a true tortoise lover, that is what and who she is. We people in California are had it made due to our somewhat tortoise friendly climate, but in Chicago, you need to go extra mile, and a half, to ensure the quality of your torts's life. She and her husband (Joe) moved to a smaller house but with bigger yard, just for this reason.

I'm so glad that now I know I have more purposes to visit Chicago area. Go Barb! ! ! ! !
