Vroni, Herculaneum, Missouri, USA

Pandamao Posted Aug 11, 2007, 10:44 pm	Hi, I'm Vroni, a cow. Soon I'll be a wild release but my guardian thinks it is good to get some training first. There are some experienced toyvoyagers here and I could get some advice what to do when traveling.
Pandamao Posted Aug 12, 2007, 5:21 pm	This morning the training workshop started. We got up early. First we discussed with the other experienced toyvoyagers and listened to their adventures. Then Elisabeth gave a lecture on how to become a toyvoyager, what mission we have (travel, of course), which strategy we should use and so on. Then we learned about geography and different means of transport. In the afternoon we'll get more hands on training. I think I'll soon be ready for the wild release.
Pandamao Posted Aug 12, 2007, 7:54 pm	For our first practical training we went out to see Nymphenburg Castle, a summer residence with a large park. Today lots of people use it for a walk or jogging, and there are always a lot of tourists.
Pandamao Posted Aug 13, 2007, 8:05 pm	I also visited Amalienburg, a beautiful rococo building in the park of Nymphenburg castle.
Pandamao Posted Mar 22, 2008, 3:44 pm	It's been a long time since the last training. Today I went for a little walk and saw the German museum (Science and Technic museum). It is built on a little island in the Isar river.
Pandamao Posted Mar 24, 2008, 11:45 pm	HAPPY EASTER! Today it's Easter Monday and Pandamao went to this little town in the Oberpfalz to see her dad and she took me along. We walked along the street and wondered what was going on in that little park opposite. When we came closer we saw that it was an "Easter fountain". In this part of Bavaria it's the custom to decorate the fountains with Easter eggs. There must be hundreds or thousands of eggs here. They really look beautiful.
Pandamao Posted Mar 28, 2008, 10:54 pm	I did some more sight-seeing today and went to the area where the Hofbräuhaus is located. The first photo shows the Orlando House and then I pose in the front of the nearby Hofbräuhaus. It is a huuuuuuuge beerhall. I also met some local bears. We had a nice conversation about TVs and traveling the world but the Bavarian bears did not want to join. Seems, that they would miss their Sunday morning beer Stammtisch (regulars' table) at the Hofbräuhaus too much.
Pandamao Posted Mar 28, 2008, 11:24 pm	Then I took a look at the "Alter Hof", which was the first residence of the Wittelsbach dynasty, built in the 13th century.
Pandamao Posted Apr 13, 2008, 3:59 pm	Hurray - finally some action! Skylerdragon and his students are going to take us to some places - perhapy even some wild releases ...... there was a big fight of who would get into the envelope first ..... we're looking forward to traveling the world.

We visited Laclede's Landing in St. Louis.  We were going to visit the arch, but flood waters there kept us from getting very close to the arch grounds.  While we were on the landing, we visited a geocache, which Vroni thought was a bit wierd with all the fishy heads and everything.  She did enjoy visiting Hannegan's though.  It ws a really nice restaurant.  The waiters were nice, and the food smelled so good.  Then the waiter brought a steak sandwich for the host.  Vroni was horrified.  How could such a loving host do such a thing?!  After that, all Vroni could do to keep from going insane was climb a tree outside the restaurant.  Her TV Companions (Cuddlebunny, Ferdl, Eckhard, Ludwig, and Theda) had to climb after her and get her down.  From there, they could see the arch and once all was calm, they gathered for a group picture with the arch in the background.  Vroni was really stressed by the whole ordeal.  Hopefully Matthew can take them someplace less stressful very soon. Overall, St. Louis has been an eye opening trip for Vroni.
