¡Hola! Aquí os presento... País Vasco.

Donde veréis sitios impresionantes para visitar.

Empezamos en Bilbao:

😁Bilbao es una ciudad muy grande, tiene 340.455 habitantes y tiene de terreno 40,6km cuadrados.

Hay un museo que es precioso, su nombre es el Guggenheim. Tiene un perro hecho de flores llamado Puppy, en el cual podrás descubrir nuevas alergias😉, también tiene una escultura de una araña...

Recomiendo llevar un móvil o cámara para hacer fotos e inmortalizar momentos inolvidables.

También llevar dinero porque si quieres comprar souvenirs, pero ¡ojo! con los precios.

😁Otro sitio para visitar en Bilbao es Bermeo que esta en Vizcaya.

En este pueblo no nos podemos olvidar de visitar San Juan Gaztelugatxe, es un islote, esta unido al continente por un puente de dos arcos.

Es un sitio impresionante para ver y visitar. Desde la parte de arriba hay muy buenas vistas para tomar magníficas fotos.

Recomiendo ir en mayo o abril, ya que notarás menos el calor, por el viento que hace que da la sensación de fresquito. Muy muy recomendable no llevar gorra porque saldrá volando y por último no tirar basura al mar, ya que es un espacio protegido, y debemos cuidarlo.

😁Ahora veremos San Sebastián/Donosti, que tiene 188.743 habitantes y de superficie tiene 60,89 km cuadrados.

Empezamos por el...

Aquarium de San Sebastián.

Es un sitio genial para ver distintas especies marinas. Sé que soy un poco pesada, pero no olvidéis llevar una cámara de fotos o móvil y dinero, para esos peluchitos tan monos. 😏🤭

A continuación veremos, Monte Igueldo, es un barrio de San Sebastián, un pequeño casco urbano de carácter rural.

Es un sitio bello para echar fotos y divertirse, porque hay un montón de atracciones, como montañas rusas, coches de choques y tiovivos. También hay tiendas para comprar chuches o souvenirs.

Y ahora..😍

Con todos vosotros... ¡¡¡La playa de la Concha!!!

Es una playa deslumbrante de arena fina y muy muy suave, aunque la arena se pega a los pies, y es un poco difícil de quitar.🤨

😁Y por último veremos su capital... Vitoria la llaman la "Green capital", porque tiene muchos árboles, tiene 256.743 habitantes y de superficie tiene 276,08km cuadrados.

En Vitoria visitaremos la catedral, conocida como Catedral de Santa María. Es una catedral muy antigua que esta inacabada y continua en obras . Advertencia en las cuevas y la catedral en general hace bastante frío así que llevaros una chaqueta.😜

Se que faltan detalles pero os la dejo para que lo descubráis.

Y esto es todo espero que os allá gustado😊😘😛🤩.

I don't remember if you or someone else wrote a meeting between kiddies Usnavi and Ruben, but just - Ruben making his way in the barrio for some reason and making friends for a day with Usnavi, Benny, Nina, and Vanessa, who's puzzled by this kid but also feels at ease with him in a way she doesn't with a lot of people? And Abuela seeing this kid is lost and scared (maybe he lost his way) puts him right in the middle of the barrio kids and makes him chocolate while the Rosarios find his mom?

i did write a fic where lil ruben and lil usnavi had a chance meeting at an aquarium after usnavi wandered off from his class on a school trip. sad bc it was on my old blog/old laptop and i never had chance to transfer it to AO3 so it is lost forever :(

i love the idea of abuela looking out for a lost lil ruben (i love the idea of abuela and ruben meeting for any reason, it makes me sad that they didn’t - i feel like they’d get on so well). he’s four years older than the boys and five years older than the girls so they’d probably be like. very tiny. which i actually love bc chances are he’d be freaking out and nonverbal at this point, but if he was just surrounded by basically toddlers they wouldn’t think anything of it and would just want him to play, which would probably help. first hints of his Excellent Older Brother skills long before he’s an older brother!

(that means benny wouldn’t be there, in my timeline, since he doesn’t move there till the boys are around 7/8. but maybe him and ruben meet some other time. because i dont care if it’s unrealistic, unknown childhood meetings are always cute and fun)

Cruise From Barcelona, Spain

Introducing Barcelona

The capital city of Spain's Catalonia region is one of Europe's most impressive and awe-inspiring travel destinations. A city of contrasts, it is distinct in Spain, most evident in its signature architecture, a marriage of Gothic and modern, with one name featured more than any other, the famous architect Antonio Gaudi. If you are a visiting tourist it's good to know the city is basically divided into two, the old city, with the most famous buildings and museums, and Port Vell, featuring bars, restaurants, aquarium and theaters.

Take a Tour of Barcelona

It takes even an energetic tourist a week to do Barcelona, so with only a single day, you'll be very busy. Don't miss famous destinations such as La Sagrada Familia, Gaudi's astounding church, the medieval, characterful Barrio Gothic area, and the Picasso museum. Finally head up to Montjuic for a wonderful view over the whole of the city and the surrounding hills and ocean.

La Sagrada Familia

Barcelona's funkiest church was designed by Barcelona's most famous son  Gaudi. Work began in 1883, and the imaginative building is only now nearing completion. Don't miss features like the nativity-themed facade, the mosaic bell towers, and ornate doorways showing faith, hope and charity.

Las Ramblas

A fabulous boulevard leading from Port Vell to Placa de Catalunya, the heart of old Barcelona. The street is packed with cafes, shops, florists, street entertainers, and Boqueria, a colorful market. Half way along Las Ramblas lies the Gran Teatre del Liceu, Barcelona's gorgeous opera house. La Rambla ends at the Placa de Catalunya, a large plaza filled by cafes and shops.

Barri Gotic

The Gothic Quarter is steeped with a wonderful olde-world atmosphere. The streets are winding and narrow and packed with busy life. Art lovers will enjoy the Museu Picasso, showcasing the artwork of Picasso. Also worth visiting is the Cathedral of Santa Eulalia, a splendid example of early-European architecture.

Gaudí planned an amazing house with undulating, living curves for the developer Pere Milà Camps. La Pedrera was Gaudi's last work before spending all his time to the construction of the Sagrada Família.

Parc Guell

Another Gaudi design, Parc Guell is a fascinating town park.  The planting is imaginative and colorful, but the real star is Gaudi's hard landscaping, likefaux temples and mosaic seats.

Montjuic

The area of Montjuic is 700 ft above Barcelona's port and is chock-a-block with boutiques, galleries,cafes and museums.  Don't miss the Museu Arqueologic which showcases items from early civilizations from Catalonia and the Balearic Islands. Another superb museum is the Museu Nacional d'art de Catalunya, which has a large collection of Romanesque art.

Available Cruises

Barcelona offers a big choice of itineraries. A favorite is the trip around  the Western Mediterranean. Other options include the Canary Islands, Morocco, or longer trips to the Eastern Mediterranean and Greece. For more details see Barcelona Cruises.

Cruise Ship Terminals

Cruise ships berth at Port Vell. The area has become a tourist attraction by itself with a large Maremàgnum shopping center with a fun IMAX theater, and Europe's biggest aquarium. Port Vell links directly to Las Ramblas, the main Barcelona avenue packed with eateries and street entertainment that leads right into the center of the city.  Las Ramblas is alternately called the singular form, La Rambla.

There are eight terminals at the Barcelona port, split into 3 locations.

Adossat Quay

Cruise Terminals A, B, C and D are located at the Adossat Quay and are the greatest distance from the city. Terminal D also has the name Palacruceros.  Buses run from these terminals to the foot of Las Ramblas.

Port Vell Terminal M

Across from the WTC terminal. This ferry terminal is sometimes used for cruiseliners.

All the terminals have a taxi rank. For a map of the port see Barcelona Port Map.

Getting to the Port

From the City to the Port

Walking

For the Adossat quay cruise ship  terminals, (A, B, C and D)  you need to catch a shuttle bus called the Blue Bus which picks ups at the Christopher Columbus memorial and drops off at Adossat dock.

Metro

The Drassanes stop (Green Line, L3) is no more than 5 minutes by foot from the Columbus statue.

Taxi

It's easy to take a cab from the city center to the port.  This is inexpensive, fare about eight euros, and quick, normally less than a quarter of an hour. .

Travelling from the Aiport to the Port

By public transport

Take the Aerobusline A1 from terminal 1, line A2 from terminal 2 to Placa Catalunya in Barcelona, service approximately every 10 minutes, then catch the metro from Catalunya to Drassanes. From Drassanes walk to the Columbus monument. Wait for the Blue bus which takes you to your cruise terminal.

Taxi

The quickest option for travelling from the airport to the port is a taxi.  The trip will take you about 25 minutes and will cost you around thirty Euros in total. The cost will include per-bag extras plus additional airport and cruise port charges.

Buenas noches a todos, 

Walter al habla. Hoy os traigo una guía ilustrativa que nos permita tener una visión más clara de Chicago y que, con un poco de suerte, además nos dará ideas sobre qué actividades plantear en nuestros temas, o qué lugares explotar de los que quizás no teníamos idea.

Antes de entrar en lugares específicos, hagamos un repaso rápido sobre Chicago. Especialmente a nivel geográfico, puesto que también nos dará algunos datos de interés turístico. 

Como muchos sabréis, Chicago es una ciudad del estado de Illinois, situada a orillas del lago Michigan, uno de los cinco Grandes Lagos de Norteamérica. Entre los demás estados que lo bordean, están: Michigan, Indiana y Wisconsin. 

Durante el verano, el lago se emplea a modo de playa. Entre algunas curiosidades (x), está que: debido al tamaño del lago, se pueden practicar en él actividades como el surf; al contrario que las playas normales, tienen hora de apertura y cierre (6 a 23h) y sólo está permitido nadar en él durante el horario en que estén trabajando los socorristas (11 a 19h).

Además de estar a orillas de este lago, Chicago también cuenta con el curso de un río que atraviesa la ciudad: el río Chicago. Este es objeto de paseos turísticos en barco, así como de actividades deportivas como el kayak. También cuenta con un paseo peatonal en la zona centro, que finaliza a orillas del lago. A lo largo de este paseo podemos encontrar desde parques infantiles a restaurantes, o simples zonas de descanso desde las que contemplar el curso del río. Cabe destacar, además, la forma de Y que presenta este río, y que a menudo se utiliza como símbolo de la ciudad (x) (clic para ver imagen).

Por último, en este aspecto no podemos olvidar que en torno a Chicago se encuentran una serie de reservas forestales, siguiendo la iniciativa de activistas del condado de Cook (ver mapa). En ellas se realizarán diversas actividades recreativas (x) como campamentos infantiles, práctica de golf, navegación en botes, ciclismo, picnics e incluso habrá zonas especiales para hacer volar drones y maquetas de aviones.

Obtenida esta visión genérica de cómo es Chicago, podemos empezar ahora a profundizar en sus principales atracciones. 

PARQUES URBANOS

(1) En la zona norte de Chicago se encuentra el parque más grande de la ciudad. Este parque recibe el nombre de Lincoln Park. Situado a lo largo del litoral del lago Michigan, cuenta con una laguna y varios estanques en su interior. Además, en él tendremos el museo de historia, el museo de historia natural, el jardín botánico y el zoológico Lincoln Park.

Merece la pena incidir brevemente en estos dos últimos:

Del jardín botánico, cabe señalar que cuenta con, además de exhibiciones de rosales o árboles frutales, otras más exóticas como: el jardín japonés, el jardín sensorial (con plantas de aromas especialmente llamativos), el jardín cascada (en el que encontraremos una cascada de 13m) o el jardín acuático (ver todos los jardines).

Del zoológico Lincoln Park destaca de antemano el hecho de que se trate de uno de los parques zoológicos más antiguos de Norteamérica. Exhibe una amplia variedad de animales, entre ellos: leones, osos, pingüinos, antílopes, cebras, focas y distintas variedades de aves de presa y primates.

(2) Bajando a la zona centro tenemos Grant Park, un gran parque situado en el área comercial. Dentro de él sobresalen la fuente Buckingham (una de las más grandes del mundo), el Instituto de Arte de Chicago y dos parques de menor tamaño conocidos como Museum Campus y el Parque del Milenio o Millenium Park. 

Si el parque Lincoln destacaba por su conexión con la naturaleza, el parque del Milenio la tendrá con el arte. En él se encuentran algunas de las obras de arte públicas más importantes de la ciudad que, de hecho, le habrán hecho ganar diversos premios. Entre ellas tenemos: el pabellón de conciertos Jay Pritzker, el cual le hace frecuentemente el emplazamiento de conciertos gratuitos; la tan famosa escultura Cloud Gate y la vídeoescultura Crown Fountain.

También debemos incidir en el parque Museum Campus, ya que en él se encuentran el acuario Shedd Aquarium y el Planetario Adler.

Por un tiempo el acuario más grande del mundo, y el primero en tener una exhibición de peces de agua salada, Shedd Aquarium es conocido como una de las mayores atracciones de Chicago. Entre sus exhibiciones se encuentran: animales de los polos, el Amazonas, los Grandes Lagos, el Caribe, de arrecife... (ver todos).

El Planetario Adler, por su parte, destacó por haber sido el primero en el continente americano. En este museo científico encontraremos en exhibición  libros e instrumentos antiguos de astronomía.

John Hancock Observatory y Willis Tower Skydeck

Muy próximos entre sí tendremos la torre Willis (zona centro) y el observatorio John Hancock (zona norte), ambos dos de los lugares conocidos por ser aquellos desde los que obtener las mejores vistas de la ciudad.

El observatorio John Hancock es conocido por su atracción 360 Chicago, que consiste en una planta a 305 metros de altura, de paredes de cristal, desde la que ver la ciudad y la extensión del lago Michigan con una panorámica completa de 360 grados. También cuenta con un bar, y una exposición interactiva que permite aprender acerca de la historia de la ciudad. Además, en esta misma planta existe la posibilidad de aferrarse a unos pasamanos de una de las paredes acristaladas, y que esta misma se incline hacia delante, de modo que el espectador tenga la sensación de que sobrevuela la ciudad (vídeo). 

El mirador de la torre Willis contará también con facilidades similares. Algunas diferencias, además de la ausencia de la principal atracción de paredes reclinatorias, se encuentran en la altura a la que está el mirador (403m, siendo el edificio de por sí el segundo más alto en US); la presencia de balcones no sólo con paredes de cristal, sino suelos de cristal que aumentarán todavía más la sensación de vértigo (imagen) y la posibilidad de ver en el horizonte no sólo Illinois o el lago, sino Michigan, Wisconsin e Indiana. 

Navy Pier

En la zona centro de Chicago, al norte de Grant Park, tenemos el Muelle de la Armada, uno de los principales epicentros de entretenimiento de Chicago no sólo valorado por los chicaguenses, sino que además recibirá muchos visitantes de todo el centro-oeste del país.

Existen muchas razones por las que este muelle, de 1km de longitud, cuenta con tal popularidad. No sólo habrán en él instalados las típicas tiendas, jardines o restaurantes, sino un museo dedicado a niños; Chicago Shakespeare Theater, un teatro dedicado a representar obras de teatro de Shakespeare durante todo el año; Navy Pier Park, con atracciones como la famosa noria, un tíovivo o sillas voladoras (ver todas); espectáculos de fuegos artificiales desde mayo a septiembre los miércoles y sábados, además de en las festividades; exhibiciones públicas de arte (ver) o el cine AMC Navy Pier IMAX, que justifican con creces por qué está entre los destinos favoritos.

Wrigley Field y Soldier Field

¿A tu personaje le gusta el deporte? Entonces, a la fuerza tiene que conocer estos dos sitios. Se trata de los estadios de los Chicago Cubs (equipo de béisbol) y los Chicago Bears (equipo de fútbol americano de la NFL), respectivamente.

Y si no le gustan los deportes, ¡que no se preocupe! Ambos se emplean, como es corriente, también como salas de conciertos. La capacidad de los estadios es de 42.495 espectadores en WF y 61.500 en SF (lo que lo hace el tercero más pequeño de la NFL). Algunos ejemplos de artistas que han tocado en ellos serían U2, Lady Gaga o los Rolling Stones. 

Si te preguntas dónde se encuentran, Soldier Field está en Grant Park (es decir, zona centro), y Wrigley Field en la zona norte.

Chinatown y Little Italy

Ambos barrios, situados en la zona centro, recibirán sus nombres por su alta concentración de ciudadanos chinos e italianos, respectivamente.

Little Italy será especialmente conocido por la calidad de sus restaurantes italianos, la cantidad de iglesias católicas que contiene, el salón de la fama de deportistas italianos que han triunfado en Chicago y la presencia en él de la Universidad de Illinois en Chicago, lo que provoca que a su vez podamos encontrar gran variedad de academias, pensadas para el apoyo de los estudiantes.

Chinatown, por otro lado, es el lugar ideal al que acudir si se quiere experimentar un poco de China en Chicago. Sus visitantes se enfocarán en hacer toures gastronómicos, y visitar lugares como el Pui Tak Center, actual centro cultural del barrio y antigua sede de acogida de inmigrantes, o el Ping Tom Memorial Park, un parque que conmemora a Ping Tom, activista chino que ayudó a mejorar la situación de estos en Chicago.

Nos vemos por el foro.

The History Of Harput

Centrally located in eastern Anatolia, Elazig promises visitors a rich feast of history and culture.

Dating back to the 3rd millennium B.C., Harput was home to numerous tribes from the Hurrians to the Seljuks. The castle at Harput, where legend has it that milk was used to alleviate a water shortage during the construction, has ensured regional security since the time of the Urartus.

Made by sculptor Nurettin Orhan, the monument to Belek Gazi, a key figure in Harput’s history, in the courtyard of the Great Mosque is a reminder of this important ruler.

Dabakhane River to the north of Harput Castle is rich in minerals. Boasting thermal properties, its waters are highly recommended for gastrointestinal and liver ailments as well as for depression.

Turkey’s second largest dam reservoir, Keban Dam not only supplies a major portion of the country’s power needs, it has also brought the local people resort areas where they can enjoy freshwater fish.

Elazig Archaeology and Ethnography Museum is located on the campus of Firat University School of Engineering. The museum, which reflects the region’s archaeological wealth, features exhibits of finds unearthed in archaeological excavations in the area around Keban Dam Reservoir as well as examples of the region k ethnographical richness.

The History Of Harput

Centrally located in eastern Anatolia, Elazig promises visitors a rich feast of history and culture.

Dating back to the 3rd millennium B.C., Harput was home to numerous tribes from the Hurrians to the Seljuks. The castle at Harput, where legend has it that milk was used to alleviate a water shortage during the construction, has ensured regional security since the time of the Urartus.

Made by sculptor Nurettin Orhan, the monument to Belek Gazi, a key figure in Harput’s history, in the courtyard of the Great Mosque is a reminder of this important ruler.

Dabakhane River to the north of Harput Castle is rich in minerals. Boasting thermal properties, its waters are highly recommended for gastrointestinal and liver ailments as well as for depression.

Turkey’s second largest dam reservoir, Keban Dam not only supplies a major portion of the country’s power needs, it has also brought the local people resort areas where they can enjoy freshwater fish.

Elazig Archaeology and Ethnography Museum is located on the campus of Firat University School of Engineering. The museum, which reflects the region’s archaeological wealth, features exhibits of finds unearthed in archaeological excavations in the area around Keban Dam Reservoir as well as examples of the region k ethnographical richness. Closed Mondays, the museum is open other days 8 a.m. to 5p.m.

Young Wavemakers: Youth Leadership in Ocean Conservation

Meadow Walker of the Paul Walker Foundation and Aquarium Executive Director Julie Packard with the foundation’s 2017 Ocean Leadership Youth Award recipients Ben Bence and Maria Perez.

Have you ever wondered how different the ocean would be if there were no waves, no ebb and flow of energy that sustains life on our blue planet?

Like waves, Ben Bence and Maria Perez, alums of our teen programs, are part of a driving force for ocean conservation—and they’re both only 18 years old.

The Aquarium and the Paul Walker Foundation recognized Ben and Maria earlier this year for their commitment to ocean advocacy and conservation. While their upbringings differ, it is the ocean that brings them together.

Ben Bence is a student at California State University, Monterey Bay.

Ben has never been one to shy away from getting others involved to care about the ocean as much as he does. He co-founded his high school’s environmental club, has served over 2,000 hours since joining the Aquarium as a Teen Conservation Leader and was the youngest adult mentor to middle school students in the Aquarium’s Student Oceanography Club during the 2016-2017 school year.

Eric Barajas, senior bilingual education specialist with Teen Conservation Leaders, says, “So strong is Ben's relationship to the ocean and the environment that he prioritized volunteering at the Aquarium over other extracurricular activities during his senior year. This may come as a surprise, but Ben was once a shy individual. During his years with the Teen Conservation Leaders, Ben found his voice. His enthusiasm for the ocean is infectious.”

Education Specialist Alyssa Huante adds, “Even the clothes he wears embody his love of the ocean. From his whale shirts down to his shoes made from ocean plastic pollution, he continues to inspire others to walk the talk. Ben proves every day that he is devoted to ocean conservation.”

As a full-time student at California State University, Monterey Bay, Ben’s got his sights on a career in environmental education where he hopes to “show the students I mentor that they can accomplish anything they put their minds to as long as they follow their spark and use their voice to change the world.”

We couldn’t wait for him to start that career, and have hired Ben as an education assistant instructor for the Student Oceanography Club.

Maria Perez is a student at the University of California, Berkeley.

Maria grew up in Guanajuato, Mexico before establishing roots 2,000 miles away in the lush agricultural town of Watsonville. While living in landlocked Guanajuato, Maria says she was “hardly in contact with the ocean besides what I saw on television and in movies.” As an alum of the Watsonville Area Teens Conserving Habitats program, Maria worked with students her age to better understand their role within the environment and develop their own environmental identity.

“I now understand the importance of watersheds and the land-to-sea connection,” she says. “I have learned that I am a person who cares for the environment and that I can create change around me.”

Currently attending the University of California, Berkeley, Maria reflected on the work she did as a youth educator in Watsonville. “While working in the wetlands that surround Watsonville, I taught younger students to appreciate nature and understand their role in the environment,” she says. “I believe that education is a crucial part in ensuring the protection of the ocean so that we may better understand the problems in these areas and work together toward finding solutions.”

Education staff use the words “impressive,” “inspiring” and “incredible” to describe Maria’s work to date. While she was educating other teens about conservation issues such as food waste reduction, avoiding single-use plastics and living a more sustainable lifestyle, she also earned international recognition as the second place winner of Project Green Challenge, which asks teens and college students to document their journey from conventional to conscious as they become informed, inspired, mobilized and empowered to change the world.

Bilingual Education Specialist Athena Barrios with Watsonville Area Teens Conserving Habitats says, “Maria’s commitment to conservation is one that I truly admire. I am in awe of the drive she has at such a young age. Teens like Maria make me hopeful for the future of our oceans.”

Young ocean activists like Ben and Maria truly make a difference in this world and remind us that ocean conservation can happen at any age, by anyone. Since opening its doors, the Monterey Bay Aquarium has been committed to connecting local youth with opportunities to take action on behalf of the ocean. 

Whether it’s by connecting teens with marine science, learning about conservation or exploring the Monterey Bay, we are committed to empowering youth to do incredible things on behalf of the ocean and be part of the next wave of ocean activists. Learn more about our Teen Programs and other teens in action.

do any of the trio have any stuffed animals ? sorry if thats a weird question

no such thing as a weird question here at thisstableground dot internet (well, or at least my boundaries for it are much higher than this)

ruben owns a very round stuffed seal that vanessa bought for him when they went to the aquarium. it kicks around in his living room on various seats. i don’t think it’s like, a particular comfort thing, ruben has never really ascribed much personality to toys but often if it’s within arms reach he will absent-mindedly pet it because Soft and because Gift From Vanessa

vanessa has a ratty old stuffed puppy called buttercup that her mom got her for her third birthday. one of his ears is coming off, and there’s a patch on his cheek that’s totally worn through, and he’s gone from being a golden labrador to a sort of greyish labrador. when she was moving out of her mom’s place to her studio downtown she agonised for longest time over whether bringing him would just be bringing too many memories of the life and the childhood she was trying to leave behind, but she couldn’t bring herself to. buttercup now lives in a plastic bag inside a purse vanessa never uses inside a box at the back of the wardrobe, and nobody knows about his existence except for vanessa. 

usnavi has been forced to dramatically downsize the collection of claw machine prize plushies that he has for some reason been hoarding for years, but he saved a few because dammit, he earned those. somewhere he has a box full of things that are deeply precious to him but too painful to look at regularly: inside that box amongst the photos and the memories, there is a well-loved, well-chewed teddy bear in roughly the same worn old state as buttercup. his name is simply ‘bear’, and abuela claudia brought him for usnavi when he was still in the NICU, when even a normal-sized teddy bear was much, much bigger than he was. bear was, prior to benny moving to the barrio, usnavi’s very best friend.
