When we were walking at the museum, we found a swimming pool.
Why is a swimming pool here? We thought...
The next moment, we all were very surprised that some people were standing in the swimming pool. WHY???

YAY!! I'm under the swimming pool!!
I felt very strange...but enjoyed it!
I read a leaflet on the museum.
Swimming Pool designed by Leandro Erlich (so we call it Leandro's pool)
A layer of water above thick glass forms a border, through which people above encounter people below (inside the pool)

After we enjoyed the museum, we visited another one named Kanazawa Folklore museum.
The building of the museum built in 1899 was once used as a school. At present a junior high school is built next to the museum.
Unfortunately the museum wasn't allowed photography...
(Yumi told me it was okay when I visited here last year)
We were only taken in front of the museum.
The last photo is the leaflet for the museum.

We visited a few places today, but unfortunately we couldn't take many photos outside as the weather was bad...
When I was walking the street along the river, I found some white birds. I tried to get at them but they flew away.
Some old and high-class Japanese restaurants are on the street (Kazue-machi Chaya District).

Hurray!!! Hurray!!!
We had a little party today!!!
We had some snacks and water to drink and a lot to laugh about, of course. Dogs became friends with cats, a turtle with a kangaroo, a monkey with a moose and more.
We played with a big and a small ball and we learned how to play the card game "Mau Mau".
Didn't the table look nice?
Mingus Moose prefered to sit on the ballon.
(Playmo)Bill decided to not eat anything, because he was afraid to be too thick for his hobby.
Bullet wanted all the peanuts for himself.
Coco first had been a bit sad, because there was no honey on the table, but she liked the gouda then.
How did (Playmo)Bill come to that peanut? Maybe he asked Mingus Moose???
HolidayHarry had been really thirsty after eating a lot of sweets.
I had been very hungry and tried a chocolate banana muffin.
Pebbels thought, that the Harry Potter muffin looked nice. It was a muffin with blueberries. Curly took the chocolate banana muffin too.
Amara Anthea tried a muffin american style, just on with chocolate drops.
AliG seemed to play the detective. What did he expect to find out today???
Do you see how happy Tortilla and Josh look with this dish filled with gummi bears?
Chokito, Davy and Schnuffi shared another Harry Potter muffin.
Only Hasi prefered something healthy - she wanted to eat a carrot.
Tilda hadn't been sure, whether she should try a "nimm 2 " or whether it is better to eat a carrot too.
Then we started playing with balls. At first we choose the Australian ball, but it was so big, that the little toyvoyager among us had big problems.
Later we decided to use a table tennis ball, which of course is much easier to play with.
At last we learned how to play "Mau Mau".
Our first winner was: Chokito
Second place: Bullet
Third place: Hasi
Fourth place: Pebbels

Maybe you heard about the Buran arriving in Speyer? The new home will be the technical museum in Speyer: http://www.museumspeyer.de/index.html
The Buran ( the only space shuttle of the Soviet Buran program)was only on one unmanned spaceflight in 1988. The shuttle program was cancelled in 1993. It was destroyed by a hangar collapse in 2003.
The Buran is the world's first genuine space shuttle to be exhibited to the general public.
Petra wanted to go there to watch the arrival, but the weather was too bad, so we only got the chance to read the newspaper
