They are really nice! Host-mom liked my postcard from Russia very much! ;)

Hello mommy!! :D

Today was an exciting day - we went summer sledding in Windischgarsten. ;)

http://i1076.photobucket.com/albums/w453/melli4/DSC07724.jpg

Here I sit in the chairlift. Behind me there are the two types of summer sledding- Alpine Coaster or summer toboggan run.

http://i1076.photobucket.com/albums/w453/melli4/DSC07733.jpg

Finally, we arrived well and from there we had a wonderful view. :)

http://i1076.photobucket.com/albums/w453/melli4/DSC07747.jpg

Of course we took a group photo. ;)

http://i1076.photobucket.com/albums/w453/melli4/DSC07753.jpg

Here I sit in the Alpine Coaster with host-mum. It was very funny and fast! :D

All the very best!

Hello mommy! :)

We visited Salzburg today. My friends and I like going by train! :)

http://i1076.photobucket.com/albums/w453/melli4/DSC07781.jpg

Here you see me at the bridge, behind me the river Salzach. :)

http://i1076.photobucket.com/albums/w453/melli4/DSC07786.jpg

Behind me you see the castle Hohensalzburg.

http://i1076.photobucket.com/albums/w453/melli4/DSC07788.jpg

See me also in front of the famous birth house from Mozart. ;)

http://i1076.photobucket.com/albums/w453/melli4/DSC07793.jpg

Every TV bought a original "Mozartkugel" for their mentor. :D

Hello mommy!

Another great day - we visited Vienna, the capital city of Austria.
We travelled of course by train. :)

http://i1076.photobucket.com/albums/w453/melli4/DSC07808.jpg

We planned our trip in the train! ;)

http://i1076.photobucket.com/albums/w453/melli4/DSC07807.jpg

At first, see me in front of the famous Stephansdom.

http://i1076.photobucket.com/albums/w453/melli4/DSC07812.jpg

Behind me you see the art-history museum.

http://i1076.photobucket.com/albums/w453/melli4/DSC07816.jpg

We also enjoyed a Starbucks coffee! Delicious! :)

http://i1076.photobucket.com/albums/w453/melli4/DSC07824.jpg

We had a nice day in Vienna! :)


All the very best!

Hello mommy! ;)

Today my friends and I made a last group photo at my host-mom`s balcony because she`ll send me back to you!

http://i1076.photobucket.com/albums/w453/melli4/DSC07904.jpg

I gave Mr.Lumpi a hug..

http://i1076.photobucket.com/albums/w453/melli4/DSC07908.jpg

...and also Sherlock. I`ll miss them! :(

http://i1076.photobucket.com/albums/w453/melli4/DSC07912.jpg

Then I packed my envelope, including the postcard and the "Mozartkugel".

http://i1076.photobucket.com/albums/w453/melli4/DSC07916.jpg

I said a last goodbye to my friends and host-mom! ;)

http://i1076.photobucket.com/albums/w453/melli4/DSC07917.jpg

Then I jumped in the envelope!


Hope to see you soon, mommy! :)
All the very best!

Hello!

I made it to the USA safe and sound.  It was a long time traveling, so I am happy to be out of that envelope!

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-j3cy5ldzOts/UG9wntuFF-I/AAAAAAAACZE/W3hsmFey8U8/s640/P1070747.JPG

I see lots of new friends here!  When I looked up, I also saw an old friend.  Mr.Lumpi is here too!  I gave him a big hug.

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-nGoKvg8IuK0/UG9wqaiOhUI/AAAAAAAACZM/WrZQgL-XId0/s640/P1070748.JPG

I am hoping to have lots of fun adventures here.

Best Wishes,
Toby

Hi!

Today we took a walk in the woods by the river.  It is Autumn here, but many of the leaves are still green.

Here's a little stream with a tiny waterfall.  It was very noisy because there was lots of frogs croaking nearby.

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-GWx3RKSe910/UG69JU09p7I/AAAAAAAACXM/WleAxbmy1Ls/s640/P1070707.JPG

I really like this tree in the middle of the path.  Like I said before, it's still very green here, but some leaves have already fallen.

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-NHYkVEbXDcA/UG69d2hZXNI/AAAAAAAACXs/SS54FGXjM3g/s640/P1070714.JPG

I did find a small yellow tree.

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-fwuKA7yWPM0/UG6-VCT2fBI/AAAAAAAACZg/8d_sJsDqlTw/s640/P1070724.JPG

Mr.Lumpi showed me a much bigger yellow tree.  I think it's beautiful!

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-mSiZDJqr1Eo/UG6_SJVgTTI/AAAAAAAACWg/EToO2In6wrQ/s640/P1070739.JPG

These red leaves are as pretty as flowers!

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-_FQ6Ohm_1MU/UG6-iNOxFpI/AAAAAAAACZs/MRkmv9Tx7Wg/s640/P1070728.JPG

It's been a fun day, but the sun is setting, and it is time to go home.  We all squeezed together for a group photo.

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-GK-lp69eq-4/UG6_XopPDHI/AAAAAAAACWo/xpYfcd27IY0/s640/P1070746.JPG

Missing You,

Hi!  I'm so excited!  Today I get to leave here and go back home.  I can't wait!

While I was here, I didn't get to see much.  I was a little sad about that.  Before I leave America, I want to get out and see more.

I started off today with a large cup of coffee.  It's going to be a busy day!

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-7adJy78yueo/UHb2NiI58eI/AAAAAAAACaU/oXbKkkDvKwY/s640/P1070762.JPG

First stop was to the baseball park.  Every fall, the Canadian Geese stop by here on their way south.  I couldn't believe how many geese I saw!

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-iN6MIMNEVGo/UHb2SJFU6ZI/AAAAAAAACac/QNcFZ61XPDQ/s640/P1070753.JPG

Here I am on top of a building in St. Paul.  St. Paul is a city just a little north of Bloomington.  Up here, it is cold, and the wind is blowing, but very awesome views.  The cars and people look so small!

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-UYnTEOFplBk/UHb2XhdKq9I/AAAAAAAACak/jWUttxX9Tbg/s640/P1070754.JPG

When I came back inside to warm up, I met a little dog.  His name is Oliver, and he's very friendly.

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-iq-ezO9Z5dA/UHb2fFlf1DI/AAAAAAAACb0/qLfExZPD94o/s640/P1070755.JPG

Got to keep going!  There's so much more to see.

Here I met another dog.  This is Snoopy.  He's not a real dog, he's a statue.  From the looks of it, he's been fishing!

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-UGYSJkj17e4/UHb2jv8kCfI/AAAAAAAACa4/A_TNdi6m_rE/s640/P1070756.JPG

After seeing Snoopy, I wanted to visit the water too.  This is the Mississippi River.  So many of the trees have lost their leaves.  Winter must be coming soon.

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-TZ6KWFBChqY/UHb2qYJ6BvI/AAAAAAAACbA/ZKZPCTL8Lm4/s640/P1070757.JPG

Today seemed like a good day to take a walk in the forest.  I think these trees are beautiful.  Can't spend too much time, still have one more important place to visit.

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-wCMvj2Vnx6o/UHb2xI1Fl9I/AAAAAAAACbM/FR-eyNVrNLU/s640/P1070758.JPG

Finally, here I am at the music store.  Wonder why?

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-KQeMO2kNj8M/UHb22TDxQEI/AAAAAAAACbU/rABLUfOhk0c/s640/P1070759.JPG

I picked out something to bring home with me.

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-0yjlHb6IuM4/UHb28swt88I/AAAAAAAACbg/QI-JP3yTNg8/s640/P1070760.JPG

I can't wait to come home and see you!  It's been a long day, so I think I'll take a long nap on the way home.

Lots of Love,
Toby
