at home, Switzerland - 17th January 2013
By: Jasper
Hi all,
I'm Rocky,
Rocky Raccoon, a cultured city raccoon.
I love music, especially the Beatles, whom I owe my name by the way. After many adventure stories told by our guests, I decided to become a Toyvoyager too. So, here I am, ready to start. When I woke up this morning, I did what a raccoon must: I washed my breakfast egg.
Otherwise mommy makes it. But to make a good impression, I got it done today myself. Then I went to the balcony.
Snow, lots of snow.
Brrr, cold and wet.
Snow is not my thing. Sitting in a warm blanket,
and eat a muffin I like much better.
So, now I have to inform me what I must do to be able to travel. I'll see you later.
Rocky Raccoon

Hi mom!
Finally I arrived at Barcelona, Spain and I’m really happy.
When my envelope was opened, I see some Toy Voyagers waiting for me Zero is the ghost dog and the host here, the elephant is Doña Felisa and the little bear is Betty Bear.
R – Hi all, I’m Rocky Raccoon, from Switzerland.
I’ve showed them the presents I took with me.
We took a group photo…
… and Zero add me on his guestbook.
Oh, mom, I think I will have wonderful friends here.
Although I miss you a bit (well, a lot, but I’m a strong raccoon), don’t worry about me because I’m fine.
Lots of kisses and hugs.
Rocky Raccoon.

Hi mom!
Today is “Dijous Gras”, the first day of Carnival festivities, and here in Catalonia is so typical to eat “butifarra d’ou” (egg sausage) and “coca de llardons” (crackling pancake). Here we are eating this!!!

Hi mom!
Today is the last day of Carnival festivities and here in Catalonia this day is called “enterrament de la sardina” (burial of the sardine). About why is called this way, there are a hypothesis, among others. First of all, to bury something is a way to forget it, to take leave of it… And the hypothesis is that the back-bone of the pigs was known as “sardine” and it was buried at the end of Carnival to start the Lent.
To celebrate it, we have eaten a sardine made of bread with chocolate. It was delicious!!!!

Good morning mom.
It’s snowing. I don’t know why all are so nervous. Maybe because it’s sooooo strange, in Barcelona. As you can see, here it’s only raining, but, can you see the mountain behind me? I’m lucky that it’s only snowing in the mountains…

Hi mom!!
Today we went out for a walk and we went to the shopping center “La Maquinista”. “La Maquinista” is situated where the metallurgic fabric “La Maquinista Terrestre i Marítima” was in the past. Here you can see us taking a rest in front of the little park of “La Maquinista”.
This is the large pond, situated in the middle of the park, named Narcís Monturiol (a Catalonian engineer, who invented the first crew submarine). It was built in order to take advantage of the two nearby water sources and it’s used to irrigate the park. Inside the pond you can see the large antique wheel that reminds us of the industrial past of the land. And the building near the pond is “Museo de La Maquinista y Macosa”, a museum which contains historical documents, plans, photographs, models and historical objects from the old factory.
The shopping center!!!!
After visit some shops, we take a rest in a lounge terrace.
Can you see the big clock on the floor??? There was a projector which projected the small hands of the clock to show the hour, but it’s out of order
In the first floor there are the restaurants, near another lounge terrace.
It seems like a jungle!!!
Before come back home, we met Tom and Jerry, who drove us in their sidecar
We had a fun afternoon!
