I’m so glad that you did have a good time here in Texas, despite current events. And thank you for not taking the comment…

“I cannot continue to watch you having a happy time in the USA while all of this is going on and I’m not sure how you can either.”

to heart. As Americans, we are all heart broken over the Uvalde school shooting and all of the horrific shootings that have taken place over the years. Thank you for understanding that these atrocities do not define us as a people or a country. Sadly, we are deeply divided now as to how to stop the violence, as we are over politics in general these days. It’s a difficult time in American history, but we have been deeply divided in the past and still somehow managed to regroup and come back together as I pray we will again.

I think that we Americans should all thank you Shaun, for coming here, meeting us and telling the world about the America that you’ve seen. Most of us are good, decent people who just want to live peacefully in pursuit of “The American Dream”. There are very heated arguments going on right now as to how we can do that, but I don’t think that this is the place for that debate. Your followers enjoy the beauty and fun that you share from Scotland, Brazil, America or where ever you are in the world. We need that right now. Thank you for your content❣️

So happy you enjoyed your time in America, and especially Texas! It really is such a special place. We often joke that Scotland is similar to Texas: Feisty, hospitable, friendly folk that you never want to cross 🙃

I know everyone deals with suffering differently. I hope you know that for most, including myself, you are a light amidst the darkness. Please keep spreading joy!

Hope to meet you one day in your beautiful country or in our great state.

So glad to hear that you are having a great time on your trip. Sounds like you are experiencing true ‘southern hospitality’. It is amazing what we have in our country and how each region is different (and has many ethnic influences as well).

Thank you for acknowledging all of our blemishes and strife and the deep pain and grief of Uvalde. We grieve together.

I hope that in Chicago you can go atop the sky scrapers, see the lake, the Shedd Aquarium, try a deep dish pizza, and the Art Institute of Chicago. So much to do in all of the great cities on your iteniary!

Sadly, some people just want to focus on the negative and can not see past it to the good going on all around. Thank you, Shaun for continuing to show us the beauty in this world! Just remember that the USA is unlike any other nation in the world. Each state is basically a country of it’s own. But they have all joined in union together to try to make each and every state in this union a good place to be. Yes, we have crime. Even the UK still has crime without personal gun ownership. There have been mass stabbings there, and sadly even mass transit bombings.

There will always be evil everywhere in this world. But, we can drown it out and take away much of it’s power by focusing on all the good in this world! Thank you, Shaun and Teka for sharing all of your beautiful adventures and reminding us of the beauty that can still be found everywhere in this world!❤️

So glad you are safe and having a good time. Hope the tail end of your time here is just as good if not better. Yes, these are trying times, but that's not your responsibility. Hugs.

I don’t want to down play the horrible things that have happened of late, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have a good time…as a matter of fact you should. I’m so glad you are enjoying yourself here, maybe some time you cold come to Oklahoma City that is where I live we are wonderful state as well. Continue to have and enjoy yourself in our country we enjoy having you and your lovely wife.
