One more day and i will be on my way to a new refridgerator. It's perfect timing, the fridge i was living in has stopped working and i have had to be content with being squished in the little caravan fridge and there is no light!. Not a good experience!

I have been told my new host has her fridge stocked well and if we are corect with our googling, hehehe, this is the type of cheese i can look forward to eating

mmmm,Provolone

I am writing this message from the postal plane. I left home late yesterday afternoon after saying a fond farewell to my fellow ToyVoyaging friends Groovy and Snuggles

http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o5/sami_jae/toyvoys/bye.jpg

and the many cows who have tried to supply me with the milk to make my own cheese. Some of these cows have dreadful milk!!

Because of border security i was unable to take a cheesy snack with me, so i am content with little cheesy pictures stuck on the inner walls of my sleeping box.

I will be arriving in the USA in the next week hopefully. I am looking forward to many cheesy adventures, even if there is no cheese to be found i will be happy to experience anything and everything.

See you soon!

Hello!
After nearly starving in this box for a long time I finally was out and able to stretch my legs. I had to spend a while in their mailbox too. As I started to bite through the box myself, I saw this sharp thing and I stayed out of the way. Andrea helped me out and at last I was free!!!!!!! When I was out, I was greeted by to fellow toyvoyagers, Resi and Chocolate Chimp.

Hello again,
As Andrea lifted me out, she asked what I wanted to do first. Of course I asked for a snack. She gave me so yummy Italian pasta to eat.

Look what I found in the pantry Mommy!! Something that made me feel at home. Vegemite. I started to eat some and realized that it was full!! Andrea said she tasted a small amount and has never tried it again. She even cringed when she smelled it.  :o. She said that her class tried it at school as we are friends with kids in Australia. They sent us some and no body liked it in her class she told me. Weird people??????

Hello,
So I was eating some cheese in the fridge and Andrea came in carrying Chocolate Chimp, Roderich, and Muumipeikko and she taped me on the shoulder and said, "excuse me Marcello." "We are going to take group photos by the pool." Marcello said I guess and we went to take photos.

Here is my friends and I in front of the pool. We all wanted to go swimming but Andrea said it is way to cool.

Hello!
Guess what?? Andrea told me that today we are going to have a sleepover at buggy4526's house. It will be lots of fun!! I will get to meet Lamby, the toy that buggy4526 is hosting. Andrea talked to her on the phone the other day and asked her if she had cheese and she responded in a weird voice, Um......yeah?? Andrea said because Marcello likes cheese......hehehe. Andrea said that Éireannach, Alfonz, and Watson have all visited her house. We are going to have a TV sleepover!! Yay!

Hello!
Andrea told me that today was the day for Chocolate Chimp and I. I new exactly what that was, let me put it in my own words "traveling in a cramped envelope for a long time."
Andrea said she bought me a big envelope, what a relief because I think I gained a few pounds in Florida.

Hello!

I finally have some time to show you my arrival here.
First everybody sit at the couch and talk about what i can be. They were all very curious about me. It was so funny to hear how excited they are.
http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b65/Eryah/toyvoyagers/marcello001.jpg

When i came out of the envelope i saw two bears (Meleleuca!!) and a bird.
http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b65/Eryah/toyvoyagers/marcello002.jpg
We introduced to each other. This are Meleleuca, Palmeke and Snowy.

They decided to give me a slize of their pizza because i was very hungry of my trip. I was so lucky because the pizza had cheese. Eva told me that i'm gonna see a lot more cheese here.
After dinner we sit on the couch again and talk about everything. I think i'm gonna have a great time here!

*In memoriam*

Marcello really want to see something today so we went to the animal farm. This one was a little bit different than the regular animal farms here in Holland because they have other kind of animals like ostrichs. We all could not know that this were his last minutes here.
The one thing he want was get on a picture with one of them.
Eva hold him and suddenly the ostrich took Marcello out of her hands. Everybody paniced and want to save Marcello. But it was to late...
He died bravely.
We all gonna miss him a lot.


Here he is, the ostrich that took Marcello from us:

Eva had her camera in her hand while it happened:
