Travelog for: Digory

Hello! This is my first travelog! My name is Digory, and I'm a small hedgehog. I was named for a character in the Narnia books, and so I hope one day to read them with someone. My mentor is sending me off to travel the world. She says I'll start by visiting some friends of hers on an email group and that they're very sweet. I hope so! I hope to have some adventures to write about soon!

I have just arrived in Shrewsbury Massachusetts. I am staying with a nice family in central Massachusetts.
I'm tired from the long journey and will be getting some rest for now. More adventures to follow!

Well I met a new friend today. Fuzz is finishing his vacation here in Shrewsbury and told me how much fun it will be!
He's headed to Alaska next.

I got to check the place out where I am staying. They have lots of toys to play with in the backyard and pretty flowers!

I am enjoying looking at my hosts postcard collection.
I got to see a postcard from 1910 of Shrewsbury where I am staying. Also ones from Gillete Stadium where the NE Patriots play and Cambridge...Home of Harvard!

Hi! Still here in Shrewsbury. My hosts daughter got a new doll carriage and took me and her baby doll for a ride around the house.

Went to Green Hill Park in Worcester Massachusetts today. We stopped at the Massachusetts Vietnam Memorial. It had lots of lovely flowers and a reflecting pool.

Today we went to Dean Park for the 4th of July Celebration.
we stopped at the pond to see the fountains.

Today I am packing up and going to meet a new host in Iowa!

I spent some time resting from my long trip from Massachusetts. I've been hanging out with my host family. In the pictures...1) Taking a nap with my new cuddle friend, Frida, 2) Cubs win!, 3) Play time!, 4) Looking through Amatullah's postcards from over 200 countries, 5) Didn't find any magic gateways in this wardrobe, 6) More play time!, 7) Amatullah's prized cherry tree, 8) Where I slept!

Digory has been busy! In the pictures: 1) Safety first before we leave! 2) Iowa's First State Capitol, can you see me? (I'm a white dot near the bottom), 3) Cool Museum! 4) Cool tree! Can you see me climbing on the big limb? 5) Iowa's City's Ped Mall, a great place to shop! 6) The flood waters last month came up to this line at this Hardee's in Coralville, 7) I found lots of mail here!

Digory has been working on his goals. He explored the wardrobe here, but, alas, no magic gateways! He picked a crab apple not realizing it tastes much different from a regular apple! He has talked to the tv here. I don't have postcards from every country in the world but he looked at the ones I have from over 200 different countries!

Amatullah in Coralville

Digory left today for Burlington. Shouldn't take long to get there! He went swimming yesterday and there will be a couple more photos to add later! We'll miss Digory!

Amatullah in Coralville, IA

I am visiting with my friends Judy and Larry in Iowa! I love it here. The Mississippi River is so cool! I have a new friend, Baby Bear. She loves me. I have had so much fun! I got to ride on a boat, go to the park, and i had my own little bed! I love it here. I Wove Warry(Larry) but hedgehogs can't say L's.  We went and paid a bill.  I refuse to leave here until Thursday. I'm having to much fun! I even played hide and seek in the cornfield. Then i met a turtle and went for a ride. That's it for now. Iowa's great! 

It was fun hosting Digory.  He visited a couple of places with me.  Here are the pictures.

Have fun Digory on your next journey!
Headed to La Crosse, WI!!

I've arrived!!  Today is going to be a relaxing day. She thought I might be tired after the long journey so we are staying home. (She is also sleepy; I think she was too excited to see me)! Cloudy outside so not great picture taking weather. My adventures start tomorrow!
