My trip takes a long, long time to arrive. Somehow along the way, my package was torn open, so I have to stop in a post office rest stop to get it repaired, before I continue my journey.
I hear some noises. Have I arrived?
Hey someone is pulling my tail!! Help!!
My new friends tell me not to worry, they will help me get out. I sure hope so!
Help! I think my tail is going to come off! And is someone stepping on my head? He said he is helping to push me out. I wonder if it feels like this to come out of my mommy's belly?
Phew I am free! I am very grateful to my new friends, sweetie, Big Foot, Genoveva, (both rats are from Germany!) Mocha the moose and Orange the fish.
My friends realize how tired and hungry I am, so to cheer me up, Genoveva takes out some German candies to celebrate. I am so happy I have arrived safely, and very moved to receive such a warm welcome. Hmm, where is the beer?

Today we go grocery shopping!
Wow look at all the candies and drinks! Hmm, hopefully I will not gain weight and look like an American now I am living here?
Look at the colorful salt water taffy! This candy originated in Atlantic City, New Jersey. David Bradley's candy shop was flooded during a major storm in 1883, and his entire stock of taffy was soaked with salty Atlantic Ocean water. When a young girl came into his shop asking for taffy candy, he joked that he has some "salt water taffy." But the girl and her friends liked it, and a new candy was born. Today, Bradley's shop is still on Atlantic City boardwalk.
Hey look what I found!
And a Mozart chocolate bar!
A rainbow of Jelly Bellies!
Okay okay let's look for something healthier. How about some nuts?
You can get freshly ground peanut butter and almond butter, which tastes a lot better than the ones in jar.
Coffee, anyone?
And cheese?
We found some Champignon German Brie among all the French stuff!
And Cambozola among the blues. Yay!
Look at all the big chucks of Parmigiana Reggiano! Hmm we better get out of here, my friend Big Foot is drooling all over the place, and you can never trust a rat with so many cheeses...
Don't forget a nice loaf of bread to go with the cheeses.
We get some olives at the olive bar.
This is the spice rack where we can get some spices.
Let's pick a bottle of wine.
Here's a guy doing a tasting. Sadly we don't have our IDs so he won't give us a glass.
Hmmm maybe we should go for a good beer instead? Either way sounds like a delicious dinner tonight!

Miami Beach, Florida, United States - 1st October 2012
By: tarepanda
Today we go to Miami Beach. This is a very nice hotel called Fontainebleau.
Opened in 1954, it is one of the most historically and architecturally significant hotels on Miami Beach. It has also appeared in many movies and tv shows.
This is the Chateau Lobby.
Let's get a drink and see if we can spot some celebrity!
Our host comes today to visit the spa. With 40,000-square-foot (3,700 m2) it is a very nice spa and we get a special promotion coupon.
After a good massage we decide to visit the pools.
Lots of people are enjoying the sun.
Hmmm this is very comfy! I am feeling sleepy!
This round bed looks fun.
How about this one with TV? We can order some drink and while we wait for our movie star friends!
Oh here is the kiddie pool with a slide.
We have a good time swimming in the pool.
After the sun and some good exercise, we feel a bit hungry. There are some restaurants in the hotel, but they are all very fancy.
The Chinese restaurant has a US$195 Peking Duck.
The pasta dish in this Italian restaurant is among the best!
However, as it's a warm beautiful day we decide for something casual and cold. Our host suggests we try some ceviche.
Ceviche is a seafood dish made from fresh raw fish marinated in lemon or lime juice, and seasoned with chili peppers, onions, salt, and coriander. It is popular in the coastal regions of the Central and South America but is believed to have originated in Peru.
This place has won some award as Best Ceviche in town!
Let's check what they have.
We can see the chefs prepare our food.
Here is our food! Octopus taco and fish taco with some tortilla corn chips. Yummy!

Today we have a new visitor!
His name is Micky, a little mouse from Germany. Genoveva and Big Foot are happy to have a baby cousin, and I too very much enjoy the German chocolate Micky brings along.

We decide to take our new friend to try some Chinese food, because, he he, we start to have some cravings after our wonderful trip.
We have some hand made noodles with beef, and a steamed bun.
For dessert there is some sweet bean pancakes, and some sweet tofu pudding.
I have to say it's not as good as the food in China. Ah, guess we have to make a trip back!

Today another box arrives!! Hmmm, what is it? Hello? Anybody there?
Oh my gosh, it's another rodent? Hey we are having an infestation here!! No, just kidding... all TVs are welcome, though I do wish we have more giraffes visiting...
His name is Mozart, after the famous composer. But he is not from Austria. He is from Russia. I like him already because he is a very friendly guy and brings us lots of candies!
