So, I don’t know if that’s from um Grumpy the Dragon or Now, that’s an interesting thing. Um so, look at here on the side of the street, they got condoms. See, right on the right on the intersection, you can have a condom. So, I think that’s pretty amazing. So, if you’re just hanging out and you have a need for a condom, they’re they’re right there.

That’s pretty amazing. Well, I guess we better stay on the side we can cross on. Wow. That’s pretty amazing though. Okay, it looks like it’s going to take me a minute to cross this street cuz it’s a round corner so I can’t tell when the cars are coming or not coming. So, I can’t run across. Oh, but I think the red light just thing came on. So, I think I might be able to cross. Look at that. Who’s your daddy? Pay attention, Eric. And there’s a wall that goes all the way around this whole thing. And it’s pretty amazing. Um, you probably just can’t walk in here, can you? Well, we’ll get yelled at. Proceed until confronted. Wow. Look at this. Wow. What a cute little castle, huh? I think you can walk all the way through it. So, let’s walk all the way through it. And it it’s not open. It’s a Monday and I don’t know what those guys are looking at. Uh, if there’s a wild animal in there, I’m out of here. That’s crazy. Does it have a moat, too? It looks like it might have a moat, everybody. Uh, wow. It does. Look at that. That is deep, man. That’s like uh what? 50 ft, 60 70 feet? I don’t know. It’s pretty big. But look at it this way. Oh, and it’s surrounded by water. Oh my gosh. Look over there, everybody. Wow. That’s amazing. Let me see if I can find a better view. Wow. Wow. Oh my gosh. Look at this. This is like a story book uh story book theater kind of thing. I mean, it’s just amazing that it uh you know. So, I found out what that line is. You see that line in the bottom right corner?

And I mean, jeez, think about what’s taking place here. I wonder if the view looks this way. Hang on. All right, I’m not saying goodbye yet. Let’s go look at this way.
