After her official "Here I am in Texas" picture, Roo got to complete one of her goals!
She arrived here just in time to meet Orked. (Who is leaving soon.)
Here they are being a bit silly.

On the way home from their walk, Roo and Iggy-Korn decided that they wanted to take some pictures with the beautiful West Texas sunset.

Today Roo and Iggy-Korn joined me while I was practicing my harp. (It's a celtic-style harp, so it's much smaller than the ones you see in an orchestra.)
Roo and Iggy-Korn got to try playing the harp together.
My harp is much bigger than the two of them, so it took both toyvoyagers to play! Roo played the lower notes, and Iggy-Korn did the high ones.
Roo is actually quite good at the harp, although she had a slight problem reaching some of the strings...

Amarillo (Texas), USA - 29th November 2007
By: Silverwings
This morning, I woke Roo and Iggy-Korn up really, really early.
So Roo and Iggy-Korn got to ride in the car with the whole family and see the sun rise through the rear window.
We had breakfast in Plainview. They enjoied it very much, but we didn't stop for long because we hadn't arrived at our destination yet.
We drove and we drove and we drove until we arrived in Amarillo. Then Roo and Iggy-Korn finally found out the suprise: We were going to the Farm Show!
What is a farm show, you ask? Basicly, it's where a whole bunch of farmers get together and look at all of the new equipment and such that's avalible to them. (Or a comunity center full of giant machienes and farmers.)
They got to see a pair of tractors that are made to spray chemicals onto the feild.
This is the newer version:
And this is the old, old one:
Everyone we met was happy to let us take pictures!
Later on, Roo and Iggy-Korn got to learn about the "Ogallala Aquifer", where most of the water in west Texas comes from. There was a big display showing what it looks like:
It was very interesting for them to learn that the playa lake they explored a while back is actually a collection station for the aquifer.
Unfortunatly, we didn't get to take any more pictures at the farm show, but it was really a lot of fun!

Well, Roo is on her way to Australia now! (She was very excited to find out her destination.)
This morning I accompanied Roo to the Post Office in Dougherty.
Everyone was excited to meet Roo and help her get on her way. They even custom-fitted her with a "Personal Traveling Compartment".
I hope that she has a short and uneventfull journey to her next host!

Roo arrived safely just before Christmas and was delighted to meet three other Toy Voyagers staying here.
She wasn't lonely at all and was very busy helping them get ready for Christmas.
She went for a ride in the car to look for other kangaroo's but they were all too far in the distance for her to have a photo with them.
She looked and looked in the Australian bush for the others.
She saw the signs which slow us down so we don't hit them with our cars.
No kangaroo's today so a trip to the beach instead.

What fun I had, a day out in Brisbane all by myself.
The other toys stayed home so I felt very important.
I went to a place called Kangaroo Point and later, at the park in Southbank there was a childrens water map where I had my photo taken.
I saw the Casino, the Brisbane River, the statue of the Aussie farmer and his Blue Healer dog and went to Amici's Italian Restaurant for pizza. Yes of course we kangaroo's like pizza!

Happy 2008 to all.
I celebrated it with the other toys and we had alot of fun.
Next day I visited Queens Park Nature Reserve here in Ipswich and met some kangaroo's.
They are actually rather rude to toys.
