Travelog for: Hazle

Boy was that good! 

For dessert we all shared a mini watermelon. It was a little over ripe but it was still sweet and juicy.

Today Michele took us on a drive through Rome so we could see some of it's history. Our first stop was to the Sears Service Station. Michele didn't know too much about the station so she looked it up online. She told us "The Sears Oil Company was founded in 1913 and the newly restored station was originally constructed in 1930. The gas station stopped operating and has been vacant since 1974.  In 2002, restoration began and its conversion into a museum of Sears' history began. The museum will include on display restored antique pumps and a variety of artifacts inside the building. The pumps feature glass globes on top and the reproduction of side billboards were installed to complete the project. The museum, with free admission, may appear small in size, but will highlight vast memories of a much simpler, by gone era."

Next we saw a War Memorial in the center of town. The memorial says "In loving memory of all Romans who served our country in the cause of freedom." Michele said that it was built to thank all of the men and woman from Rome who have served in the military.

Across the street was a beautiful gothic  church. And a sign about Rome.

We visited one last monument before returning to Michele's house. Sadly Michele can't remember what the monument is for so she said she'll research it and tell us about it later. 

Today was my last day in New York! Mister P. Tom and I are headed to Germany. We said good bye to all of the friends made. They wished us well and said that maybe we'll meet again someday.

Good morning Mom :-) Finally me and Mr. P Tom arrived in Germany. WOW, that was a long journey.  We feared, we will never come out of the envelope. But finally we are here and we are fine, so far.  The first guy we met, was Horst, a little toycow. He told us, he is waiting every day, that his girlfriend Bertha, another toyvoyager, wants to come back to him. But he likes us as well and showed us everything. The other guy who lives here, is Harley, a big black cat. First we scared, because he is so much bigger than us, but then we found out, he is lazy and prefers to sleep all day long.

Katrin is the nice host of us, she's got a daughter named Jessica, which is in 7nd grade in school and is a ballett dancer as well. She promised us, to take us with her to see her dancing soon.  But today we were so tired and so Katrin showed us a very comfortable place to sleep.  Mr. and Mrs. Pocket, 2 dolls, they live in Jessy's doll house, decited to make a hotel out of her home now, because so much toy voyagers plan to come here. We had a big room for us and started jumping on the beds. Mr. and Mrs. Pocket made a nice dinner for us and tomorrow we plan to have a party with them. They said good weather, so maybe we can play in the pool. Now we are tired and want to go into our bed. Greetings from Hazel and Mr. Peep Tom.

Today it we made something special. Katrin and Jessy wanted to bake a cake. So we decited to help. She asked us, what kind of cake do we want, and Mr. P Tom and me wanted a chocolate cake. It was exciting, to see how to make a dough out of a simple baking mix. Oh, and it tasted so good!!!  Later we tried and it was very delicious!  Then we played string games with Jessy, because she felt a little sick today. Tomorrow we will have a  big campfire and meet the neighbours. It seems to stay exiting here.
Greetings Hazle

Yesterday a new TV arrived. It is a turtle named Sunset Sea. She is on her very first vacation and comes from Virginia.

Last night we went to a campfire party with friends. Wow, it was a cool. We had beer and fun. The fire was soo high and hot. We were hide in Martina's jacket because we scared to get burned. We stayed awake until 2 am. Then we were so tired, that we slep until 10.

Today we spent the day in Katrin's garden and had a nice barbeque. Oh it was sooo goooood!!!! Hehehe

This weekend we went to Dresden and Radebeul. It was the longest day that I ever had in my life. We visited the city and the wine country, the townhall with the Golden Man on the top, went to a Western Festival and so much more. I brought you a postcard from there and will send it out on Monday. You will like it. We also did a tour with an original small track train. That was soooo cool!

In Dresden I made one of my life missions complete and drank my first Hazlenut flavored cappucchino. Wow was that good. And such a big cup only for me alone!!!

boooohhh, we scared to death. Today we made a walk and a big tiger jumped out of the bush!!!. Aaaaaahhh!!!!!! We screamed and running away to try to hide. He tried to talk to us in french and then we found out, it is Philéas, another toy voyager who arrived today. Thank God, he didn't want to eat us. He is more a nature freak! Katrin got a special welcome dish from the Indian restaurant. We had some special cheese in a sauce with rice and different kinds of sauces and chutney. We also had indian bread

Dear Mom, sorry that we had no updates a whole week long. Katrin's camera was out of order, but we are all fine! :-) Yesterday Jessy had her birthday party for her 9th birthday and we went to a bowling center with some of her classmates were we had a lot of fun. We did a cellphone picture, so the quality isn't not so clear, that's why we kept it small. Also a new Toy Voyager arrived yesterday. His name is Shaun. He is bigger than all of us, so it's getting kind of full here now. Haha
Good nigh!
