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.

Last night we had the pleasure of being invited to one of the Oil compounds for dinner by the lovely Texas couple Mary and Pete Johnson. We enjoyed the pool facilities that were offered and engorged ourselves on a fantastic feast of BBQ ribs, bacon topped mashed potatoes, cauliflower, baked beans and fresh salad.

I had contact with the outside world this morning to find out the Eagles beat the Stealers, good job boys.

So who is packing the beer for the 3 week trip? According to my calculations, one case of beer doesnt allow for much sharing. Thanks for keeping us updated. We watched the eagles with grandpa, but they nearly killed him a few times with some close calls. Luv ya! Mom.
