This is a blog dedicated to keeping the world up to date on what Tristan John Schreck the First is doing. He will be on Bioko Island off the west coast of Africa in the Gulf of Guinea, part of Equatorial Guinea. The island is mostly covered by tropical rain forest. It is also volcanic and very mountainous island with highest peak Pico Basile (3012 m). All commas and correct punctuation marks are from my editor Sarah Mason in Philadelphia.

FYI


I am assuming most of my readers do not know where Bioko Island is located. I assume this because according to a survey by National Geographic... About 11 percent of young citizens of the U.S. couldn't even locate the U.S. on a map. The Pacific Ocean's location was a mystery to 29 percent; Japan, to 58 percent; France, to 65 percent; and the United Kingdom, to 69 percent. Shocking I know...
