Moin Moin,
it was a very cold day outside, so I decided to have a nice evening in front of the fireplace.
First I had to work for it.
Then I had a relaxed evening – it was warm – and comfortable.
Yours
Agatha

Hi
I was released from a bumpy ride in an envelope today in a nice, warm place called San Diego! I met Nancy and her dog Mitzi. I have to hide from Mitzi though, because she plays a little rough!

We went to the world famous San Diego Zoo today! Nancy has two cousins in from New York for the spring break so we all went to the zoo today.
The weather was a little cool but that was ok because it can get hot walking around all day.
We first took the bus trip around and then walked around to see some of the animals up close.
There's a photo of me in front of the entrance (we actually took it when we were leaving so it's kind of dark looking.)
Also there is a photo of me with a koala and one of me in the pretty flowers.

San Diego, California, USA - 5th April 2010
By: Nancyjb
Yesterday was Easter Sunday and the photo shows me with some candy. Nancy likes candy a lot, especially the dark chocolate and the jelly beans!
It's kind of my holiday too as everyone here likes the Easter bunny.
We had some excitement in the afternoon: an earthquake! I was sitting on my bookshelf and Mitzi started barking like crazy. Everything started shaking and Nancy sat on the couch yelling for Mitzi and saying "whoa!" A few things fell off the shelf but nothing broke. Nancy said what was most scary was how long it lasted, about 30 seconds. It was like driving on a slightly bumpy road, not real bumpy, but weird to see everything moving in the house.
There was another bump at 4:15 am which made Mitzi wake up and bark.
Then on Monday a new TV named Izzie arrived! I told her about the earthquakes but that we were safe on our shelf.
We're looking forward to getting to know each other.

Here are me and Izzie with two new TV's that were released today in the Worldwide release. This was our last photo together at home and it was sad to say goodbye.
Left to right in the photo: Me, Bubbly Bunny, Rosie Bear and Izzie.
We sure hope the new TV's find a nice new host!

Hi!
Here's me and Izzie with our hosts scrapbooking stuff. There were hundreds of (mostly) women scrapbooking this night from 6pm to 11:30pm.
There was music, contests and prizes. It was a lot of fun.

Cancun, Mexico - 17th May 2010
By: Nancyjb
Hi
Izzie and I arrived in Cancun, Mexico yesterday with our host, Nancy and met her friend, another Nancy from New York City, at our very nice Ritz Carlton Hotel.
This is the view from our room. The water is beautiful and warm but the waves and rip tides are a bit rough, much like they are in San Diego.
It's also hot and humid here but that's ok as it is so beautiful! Our room is nicely air conditioned.

Cancun, Mexico - 20th May 2010
By: Nancyjb
Hi!
We drove 2 1/2 hours from Cancun to Chichen Izta yesterday. The toll road was very good but we did have some very strong rain. It's hot and steamy out here in the jungle in the middle of the Yucatan Peninsula.
We are staying at the Chichen Hacienda Hotel which is a beautiful little place right next to the ruins. It was built in the 1500's with some of the stones from the ruins! It is where the Carnegie Institute of New York workers came to stay in 1923 when they rebuilt the Chichen Itza ruins. There are lots of beautiful plants and birds all around.
The first photo shows us in our room with a new friend we made: Chichen, a purple bunny. He's not going to be a TV as he's going to a friend of the Nancy's in San Diego.
The next photos are by the big pyramid that you see in the travel photos. At each of the corners is a big snake.
The big ring at the top of the wall was on the big ball field nearby. The players had to hit a hard rubber ball through the ring without using their hands or feet. If they succeeded then they were sacrificed by being thrown into the cenote below where they died!
Then the other photos are by the cenote which is a big sinkhole in the ground. These sinkholes are all over the Yukatan and many of them you can swim in. They are very interesting.
The ruins of Chichen Itza are one of the modern wonders of the world and it was a thrill to visit!

Santa Monica, CA, USA - 28th August 2010
By: Nancyjb
Hi
It's been awhile but we have been busy. Izzie is still with us too.
On Aug. 28 we picked up our host's friend, Nancy, at the San Diego airport. She had come from New York City and we all were going on a drive up the California coast in our host's car. Our host's name is Nancy also!
Our first stop was in Santa Monica. They have a famous pier that you have seen in movies and TV. It is the west end of the famous old Route 66.
On the morning of the 29th we walked along the beach and the pier. It was partly cloudy and not a great beach day but the views were nice.
Can you spot us on the Santa Monica sign?!

Ojai, CA, USA - 29th August 2010
By: Nancyjb
Hi again,
After visiting Santa Monica and Venice Beach the Nancy's decided to drive inland to find warmer weather.
So they drove north east to Ojai, CA which is a small town in the hills where a lot of artists live. It is a pretty town with nice neighborhoods.
We stayed at the Green Iguana hotel. It was warm enough to sit by the pool but not hot unfortunately.
But it was a very nice hotel and lovely little town.
