Travelog for: Minerva

When I arrived at my new house I went up to my new mom's room to rest.


Then a weird looking black and white dude came in so i quickly went under the pillows.

He sat their for awhile telling me that he didnt want to hurt me and he wanted to be my friend. So eventually I came out from underneath the pillow.

I found out his name is Mumble we talked for hours.

I was invited to Buntraveler's Halloween party. I am so exited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  So I quickly wrote a note




Then I climbed into my box and Mumble passed me the note I wrote with a little bookmark ribbon for my host.

I had my box taped up this morning so I could go on my journey and said bye to Mumble

Minerva arrived today in a wind storm.  It was cold and very breezy but she was so happy  to get out of that box.

The postman could not find her for 3 days.  She was misplaced and sitting behind a bunch of boxes at the post office.  She kept trying to yell out of the box but no one heard her. 

Finally her host asked them to please look very close again and see if she might be sitting there somewhere.  There she was,  grinning when her host opened the box and very pleased to be somewhere at least.

When Minerva arrived she wanted to see a view of the city first.  Her host drove her to the top of a hill near her home so she could see the city below.

When Minerva arrived and settled in at the home of her host she presented her host with a lovely little four leaf clover on a ribbon that is for a bookmark. 

Her host thought that was a very pleasant and thoughtful thing to do for anyone.
Minerva was very pleased when her host gave her a hug for being so thoughtful. 

Minerva is celebrating her birthday at a Halloween party here in Oregon. 
Everyone is dressed in costume and the party is starting soon.
The monkey boys are diving into some jelly beans already.  Those monkeys are always out of control.

Minerva had a great day on her Halloween Birthday.
She was very happy to receive so many treats.  The little Halloween cupcakes were the perfect party treat.

Minerva got to meet a lot of fun toyvoyagers and they all sang Happy Halloween to her for her birthday song.

Minerva did get to go out TrickRTreating at a really fun house.  The people that lived there were really nice and let everyone in the party group have treats. 
They wanted me to stay but I told them I was on a voyage but they could see my photos here. 
What fun people I have met.

Minerva wanted to share what she got when she was at the Halloween party. 

She will be back home in a few days to share her "loot" with her owner.

We will miss you.

I got home today!!!

first thing I did after I jumped out of my box was show my mommy all my gifts.


When Mumble heard I was home he came running to greet me.



I am happy to be home. I want to see more of Miami then I will be off to see more of the world.

I am on my way to Oksana in Russia.

Today I've finally came to Novosibirsk, Russia to my new host Oksana. She received me in the morning and took to her office, so I spent the whole day there. It was very interesting!
At first I climbed on the Christmas tree that stood in Oksana's office. Here I am


And I hung some Christmas balls on the tree.


Then I worked with Oksana- we were making some financial report.


When the report was finished we went to another room. There was one more Christmas tree. Here am I with my new friends teddy bears under the tree 


I found so-o  many magazines there!


When the secretary went for a lunch, Oksana asked me to replace her for an hour. It was very funny!


I got some sweets for that job and was allowered to dance on the Egyptian drum




Now I feel very tired  and sleepy, so I'm going to bed. Tomorrow I will tell you about Oksana's house, her pets, show you some new photos with my new friends and besides that Oksana promised to take me for a walk

Hello!!! Today I've had a very interesting day! Before going to Oksana's work, I ate Russian soup- borsch- it turned out to be very strange but I like it

Then Oksana asked me to feed her Guinea pigs- she has 2 Guinea pigs- Sonja and Dusja. They are so-o funny!

After that I chatted with Oksana's teddy bears for a while.

And then we went to Oksana' office where we worked till lunch. Then  we ate pizza and went to the nearest park for a walk. Here  I am on the snowy tree-

- on snow

-on the fur tree

- near the Voznesensky Cathedral

-near the Novosibirsk circus


-Here I'm  near the place where Russians buy Christmas trees for their houses and flats.

-While we were walking we saw some very big cars that were clearing away the snow from the roads.

So I liked our walk very much, but it was a bit cold for me-
-15'C So we returned into the office where I met a very interesting guy in a very beautiful clothes. Oksana said that it was an actor who took part in congratulating Oksana's company's business partners  with coming New Year and Christmas. This boy wore the costume of April from the Russian fairy-tale "12 months". So he was visiting different companies and presenting them with Christmas gifts- sweets and flowers.



I had a very long day and I feel tired now. So I'm going to sleep! Bye!
(I like sleeping with Oksana's cat We have become good friends with Musya!
