Travelog for: Hermann

Dear Mum and brother,
today we had a farewell day, because it was my last day in Paderborn. First we went for a farewell walk and later we had a farewell football match: Störte and me against Konsta and Walt Duck!
We had a lot of fun and I'm sad a bit, because tomorrow I'll leave my friends here in Paderborn.
See you soon, yours Hermann

And now it's time to say goodbye!
It was a very nice time and even the St.Pauli fan Störte was a nice friend! All the best for you, my friends!
And now: I'm coming hoooooome!!!

Hi fans and friends!

I was very lazy the last weeks I know....There happened so much new things!
The most important for me is, that my Mum is not ill anymore. But it is not so easy, she didn´t walk much because she got a lot of hurts at her back and in the legs. Now she´s dependent on unknown help. Sometimes she needs two crutches (if it´s the right word?)!
I was with her and my buddy Bullseye in hospital for an operation, there we made some pictures.
The next days I will update my travelog in the right way!
Best wishes, Hermann

We're here!

Bullseye and I arrived safe and sound at his house in Minnesota, USA.



Host mom has two cats. Otto and I became buddies right away.



Host mom had a lot of studying to do, so we said we'd help!





Whew! Studying is a lot more work than I thought!



Hopefully we can visit a few stadiums while I'm here! 

Today we are going to a Twins baseball game! Hooray!

The Minnesota Twins are very popular here, and we are taking the train from the upper suburbs down to Minneapolis. The train goes right to the Target Field station!



Let's buy our tickets! It's about $3.00 one way per person.





Okuma and I are SO excited!



Waiting for the train to arrive.



We liked this little sign. Clever use of advertising.





Let's sit here! These are comfy seats.



Bullseye and I are watching the world go by.







I'm stuck to the window of the train! Hahaha!



Host mom holds us close as more passengers get on-- there's only standing room now-- there are lots of people going to the game tonight!



The view is rather pretty.



Whoa, guys, whoa! There's Minneapolis! And the Mississippi River!







We're here! Let's go, guys!







Here's the outside of Target Field, the Twins Stadium. It was redone a couple of years ago-- so very new!



Cool! Look at this field!





I wonder where our seats are......









Host mom made sure to get lots of pictures of me and the field. 



Getting closer to our section-- we are in 103.



Here it is! We found it!



This is the view from the top of our section. Okay... row 21, seat 16.



Whoa! Host mom's camera can zooooom! Can you see the big screen? We got here a little early, but that's okay. 



Yum! We got our nachos in a souvenir Twins hat! How neat! Bullseye and I are sharing.



Game hasn't started yet, but lots of people have arrived.



Players are starting to come out on the field! :O





While waiting, we went up to the top deck to get some good photos. Group shot!











I think it's starting!!! Quick-- back to our seats!



The Twins mascot is this guy=









We're about half way through the game. Twins are winning 1-0.
Half-time munchies: yummy mini-donuts!



C'mon guys! You can do it!



Let's go, team!



Wow! What an amazing game! Twins won 2-0!



The team is leaving the field.







*yawn* Time to ride the train back home and sleep.....



Thanks for the souvenir pin, Bullseye! This is a game I will always remember.

It's cold and gloomy outside today.....
and it's also.....

SNOWING!!!





(It's hard to see because the snow isn't sticking to the ground, but it really is snowing!)

We are staying inside today and helping Host Mom create her Halloween costume. I'm a really good helper!

She's going to be a postcard!



We are saying farewell to Noodles today, too. So this is his going away party! Safe travels!





We also went to see an American Football game! Wait for my update-- we had lots of fun! Miss you both very much!

Hello!

My new-found friends and I are checking into the Toy Voyagers website now that it's up and running again. Hooray!

My host and I will update again soon. We are happy to be back!

Bye for now.
