Travelog for: Axel

Hello everyone!

My name is Axel and I am a meerkat who would like to travel around the world and make new friends.

My mom found me while she was taking pictures at the shopping center with a TV she was hosting. I was riding on the back of an elephant in the mall when Shooga noticed me and asked if she could come too. I said yes of course!





I asked her what she was doing at the shopping center and she told me all about ToyVoyagers and her adventures. It sounded to exciting! So her host mom offered to take me with her so she could send me to other hosts around the world. I was so happy!



But first we had to walk back to my new mom's house, and it was raining outside...



Fortunately we had an umbrella!




We walked for about an hour before we finally got to my new home.




It was tiring but I was glad I had met some new friends and excited to start discovering the world!

I am still waiting to receive my TV tag but if you would like to host me after I receive it and am ready to leave, please send a PM to my mom!
I would prefer to travel to someone who has already hosted other TVs, at least for my first trip. But you can PM us even if you are new to hosting TVs, and maybe I could go visit you after I go to my first host.

Hello!

We decided to do a cake today! So my new friends and I looked through some recipes and mom said we should try making a mayonnaise chocolate cake. It sounded really weird to put mayonnaise in a cake! But she said it didn't taste weird and it makes the cake really moist so we agreed to try it out!



We started gathering the ingredients: flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, chocolate chips, mayonnaise, water and an egg.



Then we gathered a bowl, utensils, measuring cups and a measuring spoon.



Now we were ready to begin!

First, Viper preheated the oven.



Then I started with the flour.





Then Shooga got to add the sugar!





Viper put some cocoa powder.





Mr. Furrington decided to add the baking powder.





Shooga added the baking soda.





And then she had to mix all these together before we added more ingredients!



I took some mayonnaise to add it to the mix.





And Mr. Furrington poured some water.





Shooga added the egg...





Almost done! Viper mixed the ingredients again.



And then I added the last ingredient: chocolate chips!



Mr. Furrington mixed everything one last time.



My host mom poured the mix into the mold and then we added some more chocolate chips together!



It's ready to go into the oven now!



It's baking slowly...



And... all done!
It looks really yummy now! But it's late now, so I think we should wait for tomorrow before we eat it!

Hello!

Today is Quebec's National Day! We couldn't go to the celebrations yesterday night, but we decided to go to Montreal today.

We had to wait for the bus to arrive.




And finally we got on the bus!



Then we had to take the subway.





We got off at the "Champ-de-Mars" station.
We had to go through a tunnel to get outside the station.




Then we followed the signs to go to the "Old Port".



On our way, we walked by the Montreal City Hall.



We got up the stairs and saw a lot of people were resting beside a fountain. It was refreshing!








It was a hot day so we found a spot in the shadow to hide from the sun a bit.




We continued walking and got to a plaza.




We saw some street performers! There was a mime, and kids were trying to copy him... it was very cute and funny!



There were also other talented street performers.



And finally we got to the Old Port!



This is a big anchor! Can you see me? I'm so small compared to it!



We walked through some parts of the old port.



There were a lot of boats!



And nice flowers.



And there were horse with carriages on the streets. The horses must be hot, working at such a high temperature! At least they get to rest.



There were a lot of small streets full of stores and restaurants. It was nice!




We took the subway again because we decided to go watch a movie at the theater!



On our way we saw a small cathedral.



And finally we got to the theater!



We saw the movie Dark Shadows. It was really good! Then we decided to go home because it was raining and we didn't have an umbrella.

I had a fun time in Montreal though! And my mom bought a Quebec flag to celebrate the National Holiday.
