HAPPY EASTER, mom!

We are celebrating easter here with our host mom! Then we had a Osterjause, which is kind of an easter lunch, but you just eat cold meat and sausages and of course eggs. Yummi!

We will visit all of my host mom's family, so more eating comes our way  And my host mom told me that we might also be visited by the Easter Bunny if we are lucky! That would be sooo great!

Hi Mom!

Our host mom told us that the Easter Bunny has visited and that he left some surprises for us. So we went on the easter egg hunt. We searched everywhere. Behind the sofa, under it, in the flowers...and I found an egg behind the blue bunny! Mhh...chocolate 

Today we were invited to another Easter meal with my host mom's family! As we didn't want to visit without any presents, we helped make some cute Easter Bunnies! They are made from bee's wax. We cut them with a cookie cutter and then decorated them with colorful wax. What do you think? Aren't they cute?

That was a nice Easter! But now I have to relax after all that eating 

Hi Mom!

A new toyvoyager arrived today: It's Dottie the mouse 
She told us about her adventures and we talked about our itineries.

Then Mom said we had to prepare for the Football World Championship (as in soccer  ) because it's just about 40 days until the Championship will start in South Africa. And there are special stickers that you can collect and put in an album. Our host-mom had bought such an album and some stickers and so we helped to put them in!

It was fun learning about the teams and the players!

Bye!

Hi Mom!

We went to Vienna for some sightseeing! First I saw the Stephansdom (St. Stephen's Cathedral). Then we took the underground and went to the MQ. That's short for MuseumsQuartier (museums quarter). That's a complex of museums, for example the Leopold Museum and the MUMOK. During the summer months you can sit on design couches in the MQ courtyard and relax, there are also concerts! We then left the MQ and went on to some older museums, the Kunsthistorisches Museum and the Naturhistorisches Museum. The Kunsthistorisches is home of artistic treasures collected by the Habsburgs, whereas the Naturhistorisches collects for example stones, minerals, dinosaurs, fossils... Both museums are opposite of each other in a park.

From there it's just a short walk to the Hofburg, where the former Emperors had their quarters. You can take a tour through the bedrooms of Sissi and Emperor Franz if you like and the Vienna Spanish Riding School is also in the Hofburg. Today, the President of Austria has his office here.
Unfortunately, we were to late for the Morning work of the horses, That's when they train them and the audience can watch! But I think as I was there, at least in front of it and because I have visited Piber, that means that I have completed my life mission!

Wow, what a walk! Our feet are hurting now, so we decide to go to a café and relax!

Hello, World!

I have been here with my host mom for a very long time! So I asked her if I could travel on! We decided that it would be best for me to go to the Foster Care Home in Finland, where I will meet other toyvoyagers!

So, Finland, here I come! Bye, fellow toyvoyagers and bye Graz and host-mom!

I've arrived at in Finland! I'm staying at the recently founded TV FosterCareHome  I'l be here untill my mentor/owner contacts the FosterCareHome. You can read more about  the FosterCareHome in the forum. The FosterMom seems nice and I have plenty of company here 

My Foster Mom took us Foster Toys on a field trip to the Old Town of Porvoo! The Old Porvoo is a small part of the city, the part that was built first. Those red shorehouses are the most wellknown sight of Porvoo. Porvoo got its town rights in 1346. Now it has a bit under 50 000 inhabitants and an area of 654 km2. It's situated only 50km (less than 1h drive) east from the capital, Helsinki.

It was a fun trip! Foster Mom promised we'll go see the newer parts of Porvoo too

I'm packing! I'm going back home tomorrow 
Bye Bye!

PS: here are some photos we took the night before my leave while walking home. There's the oldest and the newest parts of Porvoo! And some window shopping with Finnish/local design
