Deаr Puzzling,
How have you ever been? I hope you don’t thoughts me exhibiting up a little bit early this time round. Just wished to get this one out earlier than the vacations.
This sort of grid puzzle known as Statue Park (Loop). Shade some cells within the grid to kind the given 5 items. Pieces may be flipped or rotated. No piece can contact one other piece, even at a nook. The cells indicated with a black circle have to be shaded, and the cells indicated with a white circle have to be unshaded. In addition, draw one steady loop within the grid which visits all unshaded cells and not one of the shaded scells, going horizontally or vertically via centres of cells with out crossing itself or branching out.
Today I’ve visited a spot whose wildlife is in contrast to something I’ve ever seen, and walked amongst giants from a time earlier than Caesar. Can you guess the place I’m?
Love, Gladys.
