My  hosts:

AbbyB - Canada  - Thanks for hosting!
Pixiedustlady - USA  - Thanks for hosting!
Elen - Belarus - Thanks for hosting!
Credo - South Africa - still on the way...

What's next?





Hello everybody!

I am a new TV and would like to introduce myself:

I am a little French girl by the name of Aimee. I came to Germany some time ago through postcrossing. That's why my mom cannot really remember my birth date... mh.

Here is a picture of me again. I am about 17cm high and not very heavy. Pretty slim too, so I can fit into an envelope without problems.

Well, after hosting her first TV Florentine my mom thought that it would be a good idea for me to see a little bit more of the world. And I am also so excited about this adventure.

Here is me and Florentine:

Now, I will stay a little bit with my mom for her holidays in Hamburg next week but then I am curious about my first host!  Anyone interested?

Today we went on a trip to Gotha, a nearby town, about 15 km away.

My host had a job meeting at castle 'Friedenstein' where we went first. I went with Florentine and if you look into her travelog you can see some pictures of our visit.

Later we went through the town and did  bit of sightseeing and shopping. In the background you can see the town hall of Gotha and the fountains on castle hill:

We took a rest in the 'Orangerie' gardens before we went to the train station:

Here is me and Florentine in the park:

In front of the train stations there are these columns with sights of the region:

We had a great day out!

Yesterday evening we (Florentine, me and my host) enjoyed watching the film '101 Dalmatians'! What a romantic but also sad story.

http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f244/iloveletters/Aimee/P1030581.jpg

It was also the farewell evening for Florentine as she is moving on to another host. Today I waved her Goodbye:

http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f244/iloveletters/Aimee/P1030585.jpg

But I am sure she will have a great time with her new host in the Netherlands. I am looking forward to reading her entries in the travelog.

Hello again!

The last days I was away on a holiday trip to Hamburg. That's why there hadn't been any updates lately.
But then, here is the news:

On Monday, on our way to Hamburg, we took a stop at the 'Serengeti Park' where you can see wild animals and funny monkeys face to face.


http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f244/iloveletters/Aimee/P1030664.jpg

In the evening we arrived at our hotel near 'Reeperbahn'. I was very exhausted and relaxed on the bed, watching a bit of TV.

http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f244/iloveletters/Aimee/P1030710.jpg

The next day we started to explore the city, went to the harbour, also took a bus tour through the city. Later we went to the Hamburg dungeon, oh very creepy :o

http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f244/iloveletters/Aimee/P1030713.jpg

http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f244/iloveletters/Aimee/P1030715.jpg

In the evening my host went to see the musical 'Lion King'. She had a great time, however I had to stay in the hotel  :(

We also visited the museum of Hamburg history, a journey through all the centuries of the city - pirates, trade, costumes....

http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f244/iloveletters/Aimee/P1030742.jpg

Yesterday we travelled back home. On the way we visited the 'Tank Museum' in Munster. Well, my host is not a fan of military vehicles but her boyfriend.... Still it was intersting to see all those giants.

Today we'll stay at home and take a rest.
Weather is terrible again - rain.

This weekend we took a trip to Saxony. My host's parents live there and we went to visit them.

But first of all we went to Chemnitz to visit the industrial museum.

http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f244/iloveletters/Aimee/P1030768.jpg

http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f244/iloveletters/Aimee/P1030799.jpg

In the museum you can see a lot of things related to the history of the town.

As you may know Chemnitz was called Karl-Marx-Stadt during GDR times. Here is an old old town sign:

http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f244/iloveletters/Aimee/P1030779.jpg

http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f244/iloveletters/Aimee/P1030776.jpg

Here is another real East German thing:
The car that used to be the treasure of almost every family - the Trabant. It was very expensive in relation to no comfort and people had to wait for years, about 10, to get it!

http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f244/iloveletters/Aimee/P1030772.jpg

They even had a camping version with a tent on the roof!
Isn't that funny?!

http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f244/iloveletters/Aimee/P1030773.jpg

http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f244/iloveletters/Aimee/P1030775.jpg

At the moment the museum offers a special exhibiton about numbers. It was so interesting to learn about numbers in all areas of life:

http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f244/iloveletters/Aimee/P1030782.jpg

Counting sheep....

http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f244/iloveletters/Aimee/P1030796.jpg

And my favourite one: Aimee in numbers!

A crazy computer programme transfers all people and things into numbers. And the image really looks like me - unbelievable!

Today we went to Amerika!!  Yes we did!!

http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f244/iloveletters/Aimee/P1030802.jpg

Ah, well. As you can see from the pictures: Amerika is a village in Germany  :cyclops: What a crazy name for a place!

My mom's parents live in a town nearby. One of their hobbies are vintage OPEL cars and every summer they organize a small vintage OPEL car meeting in Amerika. This was the fifth one.

http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f244/iloveletters/Aimee/P1030805.jpg

And here are the cars of my mum's dad:

Today when we got back home a new TV had arrived in Mechterstädt: Hiro!

The little monkey had to spend over a week in the dark envelope - poor boy.

I gave him a warm welcome hug and I am sure he'll have a great time here in Thuringia.

Today is the great day: I started my world journey!

I said Goodbye to Hiro and I am on my way to AbbyB now.


I also have found many other hosts for the future already. Here is the present list:

AbbyB - Canada
Pixiedustlady - USA
Bookovka - Russia
Bamboo - China
eilidhkive - Scotland
Elayoe - Germany

Maybe I could stay in the USA a bit longer to see much more of this vast country or I could travel somewhere else.

So if you are interested in showing me your place get in touch with my mum!

Today I played tennis.

http://i436.photobucket.com/albums/qq85/abbystoyvoyagers/Aimee/August-11-2009-002.jpg

At first I stayed on the sidelines...

http://i436.photobucket.com/albums/qq85/abbystoyvoyagers/Aimee/August-11-2009-001.jpg

But eventually I gave it a try.

Today I saw Comedy of Errors at Bard on the Beach.

http://i436.photobucket.com/albums/qq85/abbystoyvoyagers/Aimee/August-16-2009-001.jpg

This is the tent the mainstage is in.  The tents to the right are where the food is sold, and then past that is a tent with the studio stage.

http://i436.photobucket.com/albums/qq85/abbystoyvoyagers/Aimee/August-16-2009-010.jpg

In this tent Starbucks was giving away free coffee, so I had a cup (they are the season sponsers).

http://i436.photobucket.com/albums/qq85/abbystoyvoyagers/Aimee/August-16-2009-004.jpg

I couldn't take photos of the play itself, but it was very funny.  You can read about it here.

During intermission there was more free coffee, and also pastries.  I had another coffee and half an oat fudge bar.

http://i436.photobucket.com/albums/qq85/abbystoyvoyagers/Aimee/August-16-2009-009.jpg

All of the tables had flowers on them, and I stopped to have a look.

Today I visited Abby's school, Simon Fraser University.  It is a relatively new school, founded in 1965.  It is on top of Burnaby Mountain, which means that it is scenic in the summer and very cold in the winter.  Most of the original buildings were designed by the late architect Arthur Erickson, who is known for his use of concrete and water features, as you will see.

This is the track.  The building on the right houses the pools, and past that are the gyms and fitness facilities.

http://i436.photobucket.com/albums/qq85/abbystoyvoyagers/Aimee/August-20-2009-009.jpg

This is the convocation mall.  This is where graduations, rallies, events and large student gatherings are held.

http://i436.photobucket.com/albums/qq85/abbystoyvoyagers/Aimee/August-20-2009-001.jpg

This building is the library.  It is seven floors and includes a common area and archives and rare books.

http://i436.photobucket.com/albums/qq85/abbystoyvoyagers/Aimee/August-20-2009-005.jpg

This is the Academic Quadrangle, also known as the AQ.  I am standing underneath one end of it, and you can see the other end far off in the distance.  Most classes are held here.  The floors you can see are the fifth and sixth, which are mainly offices and seminar rooms, the 'fourth floor' is what I am standing on, and the rest of the floors are below ground.

http://i436.photobucket.com/albums/qq85/abbystoyvoyagers/Aimee/August-20-2009-003.jpg

This is on the roof of one of the buildings, looking North toward the mountains.  What a pretty view.

http://i436.photobucket.com/albums/qq85/abbystoyvoyagers/Aimee/August-20-2009-007.jpg

This building here is the Arts and Social Sciences Complex and it is the newest addition to the school.  Many of Abby's classes are held here.  The building itself won an architectural award in May.

Today I went with Abby's family as they went out for the day.  First we went to an independent cheese shop.

http://i436.photobucket.com/albums/qq85/abbystoyvoyagers/Aimee/August-23-2009-004.jpg

You could even watch them make cheese.

http://i436.photobucket.com/albums/qq85/abbystoyvoyagers/Aimee/August-23-2009-001.jpg

Wow, that's a lot!

http://i436.photobucket.com/albums/qq85/abbystoyvoyagers/Aimee/August-23-2009-005.jpg

Next we went to a hazelnut farm.

Next, we visited the town of Hope.  There is not much to see in Hope; it was briefly a gold rush town, but now it is just a small community that thrives on the tourists that pass through.  Many movies are filmed here because it is inexpensive.  They seem to be particularly proud of Rambo.  Can you see me?

The rest of Abby's family climbed up to get a closer look, but Abby was not exactly dressed for climbing, so we sat down and ate some almonds while we waited for everyone.

Finally, we stopped in Harrison for dinner.  Harrison is famous for its hot springs, but the lake is nice too and very scenic.

http://i436.photobucket.com/albums/qq85/abbystoyvoyagers/Aimee/August-23-2009-037.jpg

We ate dinner at The Black Forest, because Abby's sister mentioned that she had never eaten at a restaurant that was specifically German.

http://i436.photobucket.com/albums/qq85/abbystoyvoyagers/Aimee/August-23-2009-038.jpg

I ate a schnitzel.

Today I saw the Surrey campus of Abby's school.  It was Abby's first time here too, so we decided to explore.

http://i436.photobucket.com/albums/qq85/abbystoyvoyagers/Aimee/September-8-2009-005.jpg

The first floor is a public mall.

http://i436.photobucket.com/albums/qq85/abbystoyvoyagers/Aimee/September-8-2009-007.jpg

All of the lecture halls are in a giant oval above the mall.  Here I am standing across the building from the last picture, and on the fifth floor.

http://i436.photobucket.com/albums/qq85/abbystoyvoyagers/Aimee/September-8-2009-004.jpg

Our tour finished, I sat down with a Booster Juice and the book Abby is reading for one of her classes, to kill some time before class started.

Today I saw a Canadian celebrity!  Rick Mercer, who has a tv show full of funny political commentary called the Rick Mercer Report, sort of like The Daily Show, came to Abby's school to launch this year's Spread The Net Campaign.  Spread The Net was founded by Mercer and Canadian politician Belinda Stronach and it raises funds to buy bednets for villages in Africa, to protect against mosquitos and prevent malaria.  Each year he invites universities, colleges and high schools across the country to compete against each other for a chance to be featured on his show.

Unfortunately we were at the back of the crowd and it was hard to see.

http://i436.photobucket.com/albums/qq85/abbystoyvoyagers/Aimee/September-10-2009-002.jpg

This is him close up.

http://i436.photobucket.com/albums/qq85/abbystoyvoyagers/Aimee/September-10-2009-003.jpg

Here he is sticking his arm into a cage of mosquitos.

http://i436.photobucket.com/albums/qq85/abbystoyvoyagers/Aimee/September-10-2009-008.jpg

They were handing out stickers.

http://i436.photobucket.com/albums/qq85/abbystoyvoyagers/Aimee/September-10-2009-010.jpg

These are what they are raising mony to buy.  Each one costs ten dollars.

The front gardens had lots of flowers.

http://i436.photobucket.com/albums/qq85/abbystoyvoyagers/Aimee/September-20-2009-008.jpg

We met lots of these gnomes.  They were all identical and they were all curiously named Smedvik.

http://i436.photobucket.com/albums/qq85/abbystoyvoyagers/Aimee/September-20-2009-027.jpg

There were so many dahlias, in all different colours.

We played in an apple tree...

and a pear tree.

http://i436.photobucket.com/albums/qq85/abbystoyvoyagers/Aimee/September-20-2009-043.jpg

I had a look to see if there were any ripe tomatos to eat.

http://i436.photobucket.com/albums/qq85/abbystoyvoyagers/Aimee/September-20-2009-036.jpg

Look at all of these grapes!  Can you see me?

Mmm, raspberries.

Today I went to downtown Vancouver.  As soon as the rain stopped, I went sightseeing.

This is the war memorial at Victory Square.

http://i436.photobucket.com/albums/qq85/abbystoyvoyagers/Aimee/October-1-2009-001.jpg

This is the infamous Gastown Steam Clock, the first of its kind in the world.  As you can see, it it very popular with tourists.

http://i436.photobucket.com/albums/qq85/abbystoyvoyagers/Aimee/October-1-2009-007.jpg

This is a statue of Gassy Jack, the founder of Gastown, which is the oldest part of Vancouver.  He owned a saloon that burned down in the Great Fire of 1886.

http://i436.photobucket.com/albums/qq85/abbystoyvoyagers/Aimee/October-1-2009-013.jpg

This is Waterfront Station, an old CPR train station.  Now it is a transfer station for many different types of public transportation: trains, buses, the Skytrain and the SeaBus.

http://i436.photobucket.com/albums/qq85/abbystoyvoyagers/Aimee/October-1-2009-019.jpg

This is Canada Place.  One of the most well-known waterfront features of Vancouver.  At the front is a hotel, at the back is an IMAX theatre (which closed down today), and in the middle, inder the sails, are large rooms used for conventions.  The sails are lit up at night with multi-coloured lights.

http://i436.photobucket.com/albums/qq85/abbystoyvoyagers/Aimee/October-1-2009-025.jpg

This is the new Vancouver Convention Centre, which will be the media centre during the Olympics.  It is huge and practices green roof technology, the largest green roof in Canada.

http://i436.photobucket.com/albums/qq85/abbystoyvoyagers/Aimee/October-1-2009-031.jpg

The green area you can see behind me is Stanley Park, the largest park in Vancouver.

http://i436.photobucket.com/albums/qq85/abbystoyvoyagers/Aimee/October-1-2009-037.jpg

This is the Marine Building.  It is the best example of art deco architecture on the West Coast of North America.  The interior was used in the Fantastic Four movies.  It was built right at the beginning of the Depression, and because the contractors went bankrupt, the interiors were not completed as they were originally meant to be until recently.

http://i436.photobucket.com/albums/qq85/abbystoyvoyagers/Aimee/October-1-2009-043.jpg

Lastly, this is the Vancouver Art Gallery, the largest in Western Canada.  The building itself used to be the provincial courthouse.  The gallery is a popular spot for protests and large gatherings and demonstrations.  On the right-hand side of the photo you can see the clock that is counting down to the 2010 Olympics.

I wanted to see a little piece of Beautiful British Columbia (they even have that on their license plates) before I moved onto my next host.  Part of Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows, which is the next city over, are farmland and there are a lot of dikes that the public is allowed to walk on.  This particular area is near the Allouette River.

  Hi Mom!!!

  I just arrived at the airport! I am in the United States now!! I am in a town called Richlands and we are about 20 minutes from the beach.  The weather is WARM 75 degrees!  I like it here and I am just in time for Halloween!!

Here I am getting out of my envelope.

I look around and lots of other TVs are in the house! They all gather around to greet me! They tell me I am going to have fantastic fun!

Here I am with my North Carolina postcard!

Here I am with my hosts two dogs.  There is a big fat spoiled dog who is a Chinese Pug.  Her name is Thumper.  I have to be careful not to be on the ground or else Thumper will pick me up and carry me around!!  The smaller dog is Sombrita.  She is a Chihuahua and she is so tiny and cute!

Here I am surfing the internet to find a photo of North Carolina on the United States map.  Here it is! It is between South Carolina and Virginia.

Hi Mom!
Today is Halloween! I am getting everything all ready for the trick or treaters that will come to the house.  We watched scary movies last night.  We saw *The Shining* *Carrie* and *Christine*.  We also made Tandoori chicken last night and carved out our pumpkins!!  Here are the photos!

First we start by cooking the black beans.

Next we get the Nan bread already to go in the oven.

http://i718.photobucket.com/albums/ww183/DarciesTVs/DSCN1367.jpg

Here we are cooking the rice.

http://i718.photobucket.com/albums/ww183/DarciesTVs/DSCN1368.jpg

Doesnt the chicken look good? This is one of Darcies favorite foods and it is a shame there are no Indian restaurants in this town!

http://i718.photobucket.com/albums/ww183/DarciesTVs/DSCN1369.jpg

Here we are with the completed meal...yum!!

http://i718.photobucket.com/albums/ww183/DarciesTVs/DSCN1371.jpg

After dinner we all go outside to start carving pumpkins.  Here we are ready to go!


http://i718.photobucket.com/albums/ww183/DarciesTVs/DSCN1372.jpg



First we pick out a design to carve our pumpkins with.

http://i718.photobucket.com/albums/ww183/DarciesTVs/DSCN1374.jpg

Next we get our special pumpkin carving tools.

http://i718.photobucket.com/albums/ww183/DarciesTVs/DSCN1373.jpg

Hi Mom!!!
I had a very exciting weekend.  I got to go to a cruise in.  What is a cruise in you ask? :)  my hosts belong to a car club and my host has a beautiful 1955 Porsche.  The Porsche lives in the garage under a car cover and no one is allowed to breathe on it hahaha anyways the car club got together on Sunday and I went along and took a bunch of photos!! 

Here I am with a Monkey named Willie.  Willie told me all kinds of stories of the adventures he has gone on.  His owner has taken him to Daytona bike week seven times!!! Willie has also gone to Sturgis bike rally up in South Dakota.  If you look at Willies shirt it has his name on it and also a picture of his owners beautiful car!!

Happy Thanksgiving Mom!!! I know we do not celebrate Thanksgiving in Deutschland so this was VERY exciting for me!! We made a HUGE meal and had friends over!! I also got to see the famous Macys Thanksgiving Day parade!!! Darcie took a lot of photos but something happened with her battery and she is sooo mad she did not get all the shots of us with the big fat 15 lb turkey!!!! Here is our menu we cooked!!

Turkey, Ham, Homemade Mashed Potatoes, Cranberry sauce, Corn bread Souffle, Deviled eggs, Sweet potato casserole, stuffing, dinner rolls, pumpkin pie and Key Lime pie!!! I ate until I could not eat anymore!!!!  Plus we had a big table full of snacks for everyone to eat while the big dinner was cooking.

First we had to go shopping for a LOT of stuff!!  ;)

http://i718.photobucket.com/albums/ww183/DarciesTVs/DSCN1508.jpg

Then we got out the cookbooks and started getting the recipes together! Here we are with the sweet potato casserole.  It was soooo sweet it tasted like a dessert!

http://i718.photobucket.com/albums/ww183/DarciesTVs/DSCN1509.jpg

We have to make a yummy cheese dip the night before so it can form the correct way in the fridge.

http://i718.photobucket.com/albums/ww183/DarciesTVs/DSCN1510.jpg

http://i718.photobucket.com/albums/ww183/DarciesTVs/DSCN1511.jpg

http://i718.photobucket.com/albums/ww183/DarciesTVs/DSCN1513.jpg

We get up Thanksgiving morning and have a real fun American breakfast of Trix cereal, Cinnamon toast and orange juice.

http://i718.photobucket.com/albums/ww183/DarciesTVs/DSCN1514.jpg

Next we have to peel all these potatoes! Darcie says they only do homemade mashed potatoes once a year...too much work LOL

http://i718.photobucket.com/albums/ww183/DarciesTVs/DSCN1515.jpg

Next the big Macys Thanksgiving parade starts so we head for the front room to watch!

http://i718.photobucket.com/albums/ww183/DarciesTVs/DSCN1517.jpg

The parade is held every year in Manhatten, New York and is a American tradition to watch while cooking the big feast.

Here is the outside of Macys department store.  Darcie says Macys is fantastic to shop at!

http://i718.photobucket.com/albums/ww183/DarciesTVs/DSCN1519.jpg

It is time to move to the kitchen, as we have a lot of cooking to do but that is ok because there is a TV in the kitchen so we do not miss any of the action!

http://i718.photobucket.com/albums/ww183/DarciesTVs/DSCN1520.jpg

Here are the world famous Rockettes dancing and singing! They are so pretty to watch!

http://i718.photobucket.com/albums/ww183/DarciesTVs/DSCN1521.jpg


http://i718.photobucket.com/albums/ww183/DarciesTVs/DSCN1522.jpg

There are a lot of great marching bands to watch play during the parade.

http://i718.photobucket.com/albums/ww183/DarciesTVs/DSCN1523.jpg

The best part of the parade were the HUGE helium ballons! It would take up to 40 people to walk the ballons through the parade! here are a few of my favorite ones!

http://i718.photobucket.com/albums/ww183/DarciesTVs/DSCN1524.jpg

Here is a drill team of all girls on their horses. 


http://i718.photobucket.com/albums/ww183/DarciesTVs/DSCN1530.jpg


The grand finale of the parade was Santa Claus!!! we loved looking at him and his reindeer as he passed by Macys!!

http://i718.photobucket.com/albums/ww183/DarciesTVs/DSCN1536.jpg



Yummy deviled eggs!

http://i718.photobucket.com/albums/ww183/DarciesTVs/DSCN1531.jpg

Hi mom!
Tonight we are doing a easy dinner.  Fishsticks and french fries!!

http://i718.photobucket.com/albums/ww183/DarciesTVs/DSCN1558.jpg

http://i718.photobucket.com/albums/ww183/DarciesTVs/DSCN1559.jpg

We eat dinner and everyone agrees that this was very yummy! we then bake some Blueberry Muffins.

http://i718.photobucket.com/albums/ww183/DarciesTVs/DSCN1560.jpg

We then all gather by the Christmas tree.  We love to look at the lights and we go around in a circle and talk about what kind of customs and traditions each of our own Country has.  It is fun to be in a different country and see how they decorate, display the ornaments, hang stockings and burn yummy smelling Yankee Candles.

http://i718.photobucket.com/albums/ww183/DarciesTVs/DSCN1561.jpg

We want to watch a musical tonight so we go and get Darcies favorite one of all time *Sound of Music* filmed in beautiful Austria!!

Darcie starts singing...........

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things

Cream colored ponies and crisp apple streudels
Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things

When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad  :p

Hi Mom!!!

Yesterday me and the other TVs went down to Wilmington.  Darcie's car club was meeting up and then went to a senior rest home to deliver Christmas Presents.  We were suppose to take the Porsche but it was raining!!! The Porsche does not have a top so we would of gotten soaked!! The rain really ruined the entire day but we still had a fun time.  While we were at the rest home a new TV asked if he could join our gang.  His name is Tuffy and he is now a official TV.  We went to McDonalds for lunch.  Here we are with our Happy Meal :)

http://i718.photobucket.com/albums/ww183/DarciesTVs/DSCN1568.jpg


Inside the Happy Meal is a horse from the new movie *Avatar* he hears all of us outside eating and talking so he jumps out.  He is very strange looking and he has six hooves!

http://i718.photobucket.com/albums/ww183/DarciesTVs/DSCN1569.jpg

We introduce everyone to him and he asks if he can join us for lunch.  We say yes and we start sharing our traveling stories with him.

http://i718.photobucket.com/albums/ww183/DarciesTVs/DSCN1570.jpg

We finish our lunch and when we get home Darcie says that Snuttig's mom has sent some beautiful and delicious chocolates and a beautiful postcard of Gratz, Austria where Snuttig is from. Dont we all look cute with our Santa hats on? :)

http://i718.photobucket.com/albums/ww183/DarciesTVs/DSCN1576.jpg

Next Snuttig lays down and starts pointing and explaining all the beautiful pictures of Gratz and tells us about each place that is pictured.  We love our history lesson and we are also trying to figure out how to get the chocolate!!

http://i718.photobucket.com/albums/ww183/DarciesTVs/DSCN1577.jpg

Snuttig sees we are trying to take all the Chocolate and he grabs a hold of the bag and pulls with all his bear strength and rescues it for Darcie to eat!!

http://i718.photobucket.com/albums/ww183/DarciesTVs/DSCN1578.jpg

Well mom that is about it for now.  We are busy wrapping presents and getting ready for Christmas to arrive!!!  hope you are well!!

Hi Mom!!!!
It is Christmas eve!!! Darcie got your wonderful package and the chocolate is already gone  ;)  Today Darcie showed us some of her Vintage Christmas books.  She loves the 1950s and had some wonderful things to read about.  First though we want to bake something so we make some Orange/Cranberry muffins and put butter on them! They are sooo good! Do you like our Santa hats?  :p

http://i718.photobucket.com/albums/ww183/DarciesTVs/DSCN1579.jpg

Next we get on the floor and start looking at the books...this one has old decorations from 1930-1960 and the photos are great!

http://i718.photobucket.com/albums/ww183/DarciesTVs/DSCN1580.jpg

Here we are with a few more oldies from the 1950s.

http://i718.photobucket.com/albums/ww183/DarciesTVs/DSCN1581.jpg

We decide to sing Christmas carols.  We start off with *Santa Claus is coming to town*

http://i718.photobucket.com/albums/ww183/DarciesTVs/DSCN1582.jpg

Here we are with a book called *Its a wonderful Christmas!*  it is filled with all the old toys from the 1950s.  They sure had some neat things!!

http://i718.photobucket.com/albums/ww183/DarciesTVs/DSCN1586.jpg

Here we are with the Christmas card holder.  I do not know if you can see it, but the card holders are shaped like Mickey Mouse!! Darcie is a big Disney fan!

http://i718.photobucket.com/albums/ww183/DarciesTVs/DSCN1588.jpg

Today we went to a store called Lowes.  It is a HUGE store that you can buy things for your house.  Darcie had to get some replacement bulbs but then discovered all the Christmas stuff was 75% off!!! we bought a Cinderella Advent Calender that talks, Winnie, Piglet and Tigger singing and moving toy and a Santa Claus that sings *Rudolph the Rednose Reindeer*  tonight we are making Enchiladas and Darcie showed us this really cool website!! It is called Santa Tracker!!  www.santanorad.org  please go look at it because it is sooooo much fun! We started tracking him last night when he took off from the North Pole.  He flew to Australia, then off to Russia and India.  He was last spotted flying around the Taj Mahal (see videos of all his stops)  we cant WAIT for him to arrive with all the presents!!!  Go Santa Go!!! 

Darcies husband will be happy to see all the Motorcycle stuff for next race season!! boy is that stuff expensive!!! he says hello and to say hi to your boyfriend and if you are ever over this way to look us up and you can go to a race weekend with us  ;)  lots of fun!!! well mom I am going to go eat some more candy and play Xbox!!!

Hi Mom!
Christmas was a lot of fun!!! we started the day with snuggling up on the couch before our host woke up.  We wanted to look at all the gifts that Santa had brought! Here we are under the nice warm blanket at 5:30 am!!

http://i718.photobucket.com/albums/ww183/DarciesTVs/DSCN1592.jpg

We go over to the fireplace and see the presents that santa has left as stocking stuffers.  In America everyone hangs a stocking and it gets filled with small gifts and candy.  Looks like Santa also leaves things for dogs! He left all kinds of treats and toys for the two host dogs :) 

http://i718.photobucket.com/albums/ww183/DarciesTVs/DSCN1593.jpg

Of course he also left us some nice candy! Here we are with a gift card to Starbucks Coffee house, a gift card to Red Robin hamburger shop, Skittles, orange flavored chocolate and Reeses peanut butter cups!! Y U M!!

Next we help Darcie open some presents.  Here are just a few of her favorites! she loves old 1950-1960s TV shows.  Here is season one of *Bewitched* it is a show about a woman who is a witch and is married to a regular man.  It is VERY funny!!

http://i718.photobucket.com/albums/ww183/DarciesTVs/DSCN1595.jpg



Here we are with four more shows from the 1950s-1960s.  They are called *I married Joan* *Father knows best* *Petticoat Junction* and *The Donna Reed show*



http://i718.photobucket.com/albums/ww183/DarciesTVs/DSCN1596.jpg


Next we open really nice smelling bath products!! Here is stuff from the Bath and Body works store! Nutcracker bubble bath,  Candy apple body spray,  Ed Hardy perfume and Pear Glaze body lotion! it all smells so good!

http://i718.photobucket.com/albums/ww183/DarciesTVs/DSCN1597.jpg


Next is a wonderful gift! a *Twilight* duffle bag and the *New Moon* soundtrack!!

http://i718.photobucket.com/albums/ww183/DarciesTVs/DSCN1612.jpg

We follow the Television all day.  We watch Time Square in New York City.  People start arriving at 6am to secure a spot.  Then they have to wait ALL DAY till midnight comes.  Darcie has done it one time and says the crowds are HUGE.

http://i718.photobucket.com/albums/ww183/DarciesTVs/DSCN1600.jpg

The reporter checks in a few hours later and it is SNOWING!!! the police work hard to barracade off the roads and set up everything for the big ball drop.

Here it is later in the evening.....we are waiting and waiting!!!

We took a bunch of photos at Midnight, but the flash went off on the TV and messed everything up! we still had a great time and wished each other a Happy Traveling 2010!!!

I near to a monument to soldiers-internationalists. It is constructed in honour to all Belorussians who were die in wars outside of the native land, since ancient times and up to now. For example, the Belarus division has been first thrown to Afghanistan. Thousand Belarus guys were lost, because of the Soviet heads.

I on river Dnepr quay. This main river of a city. Earlier it was navigable. But the climate has changed, and the river has shoaled.

Anchor on quay of Dnepr – the only symbol today, that it was navigable.

Building of the main bank in Mogilev before October revolution. Today here a museum named by Maslennikov (painter).

I near to the astrologer. The monument to the astrologer stands in city centre. It is surrounded with 12 chairs symbolising 12 astrological signs. At night from a telescope the powerful beam shining.

I near to a monument of Lenin. It is before a building of Regional executive committee, a principal organ of our area (the American equivalent of area - state). In 30th years when the western Belarus was under the Polish occupation, it has been decided to transfer the Belarus capital from Minsk to Mogilev, this building was constructed. But after an attack of Germany to Poland in 1939, the Soviet armies have attached the western Belarus back, and carrying over of capital has not been carried out.

I on river Dnepr quay. This main river of a city. Earlier it was navigable. But the climate has changed, and the river has shoaled.

Anchor on quay of Dnepr – the only symbol today, that it was navigable.

Building of the main bank in Mogilev before October revolution. Today here a museum named by Maslennikov (painter).

I near to the astrologer. The monument to the astrologer stands in city centre. It is surrounded with 12 chairs symbolising 12 astrological signs. At night from a telescope the powerful beam shining.

I near to a monument of Lenin. It is before a building of Regional executive committee, a principal organ of our area (the American equivalent of area - state). In 30th years when the western Belarus was under the Polish occupation, it has been decided to transfer the Belarus capital from Minsk to Mogilev, this building was constructed. But after an attack of Germany to Poland in 1939, the Soviet armies have attached the western Belarus back, and carrying over of capital has not been carried out.
