43、sic.Over the course of our seven-month trip,one of our big goals was to come away from each park with one spectacular image.That shared goal placed us on the same team:It brought us together,even more than before,gave us more to talk about,and encouraged us to motivate each other along the way.中学教育

44、中学教育 By this point,youre probably wondering how we paid for all of this,or maybe youre assuming we come from wealthy backgrounds.The truth is,we actually managed this entire adventure on a middle-class budget.Steven did part-time remote work about 10 hours per week for his employer from the road.I e
