The adventurecast is really taking off, we're getting a good amount of listens for each new episode but, more importantly, people are reaching out to tell us we're doing a good job 😭

Honestly that's all I want.

Trying to make a Lokipon card on my phone was challenging and not without its misprints. This is a rare card indeed, a real collector's item!

(It's 11am in London, so 5am for me. Been up for 4 hours, I'm tired but boarding to come back home soon!)

Episode Six, The Aurora, drops tomorrow, wherein the crew’s investigation takes a sharp turn down Millbrook Lane, and shadows of the past refuse to stay buried.

What begins as a simple lead pulls them to a hidden storage unit with secrets, and treasures, from ages past.

Got a 1664 monaco lager in Paris (looked it up first to make sure it's a French beer) and what I didn't realize is it shows up with lemonade and grenadine in it. It's the sweetest beer I've ever tasted. Has anyone else run into this!? Big mistake ordering a beer in Paris, much easier in London.

The Paris Chronicles: Climbed 145 steps out of the metro and then 100 more to get to the top of this hill...went around the corner and had 80 more! Finally seated at tonight's restaurant and ordering chilled wine because we're sweating so much!

Also incuded, a cool shot I got at the d'Orsay.
