Joke Time! 🏨
What did the tourist say when he walked into his hotel room? Suite! Fun fact: The oldest hotel in the world goes by the named of Nisiyama Onsen Keiunkan, located in Japan. It dates back all the way to 707 AD and has been run by the same family for 46 generations! Ever since I was a kid, i’d love going to hotels. There’s just something about them. But some hotels are weirder than others. And I mean crazy weird. Mountain hotels, under water hotels, igloo hotels, an airplane hotel. The list goes on and on.

One of the first fruit pies was made in the 1500s. It was Queen Elizebeth who was served a cherry pie. Now pies can be found…

2020 Week 15 Recap
Its time for another YouCanCallMeJoshua week recap! I hope you’re hanging in there during this time of self isolation. As the famous quote says, yesterday is history, tomorrow’s a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the present.
