Travelog for: Bebanda

Hi everyone!

I just want to wish you all a happy new year. I am sure 2009 is gonna be so exciting for me. I am packing my things for a world tour!!!

So here is me, just updating my travelog ...



and here is a picture of me celebrating Christmas with my friend Rudolf the Reindeer 


 

I finally made it to my first stop on my travels! 

I got to meet some new friends too! Puppy the Cat is from Brazil also seeing things for the first time out in the world! and Zeke (the Zebra) was telling us all of what he's seen out there so far.

It's a sunny but chilly day so we are going to wait until it's a bit warmer to go really sight seeing!

Write more later!

We went out sightseeing a bit today.

She first showed me the official "Welcome to the city" place. It shows people playing lacrosse (the sport).

Then we went down to the park right on the Mississippi River, called Riverside Park. This is me in front of the American Flag  ... and me with Tecumseh (she says this was Native American land) ... the two bridges that connect Wisconsin and Minnesota (known locally as the "blue bridges") ... and then me with a statue of the American Bald Eagle.

On the way home, I got to see something huge!!

 


More to come!

I thought I would send a picture to let you know I'm still around and having fun! Early this morning I got to be in snow!!

Sounds like this weekend I will be going someplace and will be taking more pictures!

A new traveler joined us today!! RessutheBeagle is all the way from Finland! 

We hit the highway going to her sister's this afternoon. It was a beautiful day out!

With the population, it's technically a town. It's small enough that at noon everyday, they have the "noon whistle" which is the siren in town signaling that it's noon.

We woke up to snow!! She took our pictures from the back door. Isn't it pretty? We weren't expecting a lot of snow but it ended up being quite a bit! (about 4 inches)

She then took our picture snuggling up to the dog.

We came home and found out that Puppy the Cat was going to go on to her next adventure so we gathered and said "Goodbye" and wished her fun travels!

My time here in Wisconsin has ended... off I go to see Pennsylvania!
Write to you from there!

Today I arrived in Glen Lyon, PA. My host, Sam has a bunch of other TV's at her house that were waiting to greet me.

Today, Sam stopped on the way to work to get something special for one of the people she works with. It was his 1 year anniversary of being with the company.

She bought him Tiramisu.



Tonight after work, we are leaving to go to New Jersey with one of Sam's friends.

On Saturday, we woke up and visited a flea market in the morning. In the afternoon we went to Popcorn Park which is a zoo that has mostly injured an unwanted animals. You can feed the majority of the animals popcorn! It was a lot of fun. Here we are in front of the camel enclosure.



There were a lot of pretty peacocks just walking around. You could just walk right up to them. Here's a photo of one.



The ground where we were was very sandy. This was due to the fact that we were very close to the Pine Barrens. All the pine needles make the dirt very sandy.

Sam has finally gotten settled after her trip to DC, so here are some photos!

The first day we arrived in DC, we went to Chinatown.

The next day we visited some of the museums and the sculpture garden.



We also got to visit the zoo!



It was a really fun trip! We did some other things too, but it was very crowded and hard to take photos.

Hi! Don't worry, I am OK! I am in Moscow now with my new friends.

On Saturday we went to the country...
