Travelog for: Princess Sarah

After watching Sa-Liang Carrying Tradition, I go to pray the Bhuddha at Wat Phratat Doi Suthep, the temple on the top of Doi Suthep Mountain.

I used the lotus for pray. After pray I go to photo with the golden pagoda. It is very great day for me!

Today is the Art of Ice Festival. It is the exhibition of  students in Faculty of Fine Art . The students design their ice in the different shapes. It is very interesting!

It's a busy Sunday morning, because Petra has to prepare the batter for many many buttermilk waffles.
Each year they celebrate a feast at their church. It is the feast of the patrons St.Damian and Hugo. Since many years it is tradition for the family club, in which Petra and her family are members, to bake and sell waffles. Each family brings batter for about 70 waffles.
This morning we helped her to  get ready with everything, before she had to run to the parish hall, where they always sell the waffles in a tent. We asked, whether we could join her, but this time she had to say no

Petra's husband bought something for dinner at Aldi, while we sat in the car waiting for him.

This morning Petra's family receive a call from the ostrich farm, which we visited during their summer holidays. Petra had asked to call her, if they have an ostrich egg for her family.

So we headed to Rülzheim and while Ralf bought the egg Petra took us out of the rucksack and showed us the ostriches. I can tell you, it is a really big farm with many many ostriches.

Today I asked Petra to take a photo with me and the Easter egg - emmh, no not Easter egg . I mean a photo with me and the ostrich egg, of course.

That's a really really big egg, don't you think so?

I'm on my way to my mystery host. Petra, won't you tell me, who of these hosts it is??? No??? Ok, then it will be a big surprise to see, where I will come out of my letter.
Goodbye to you all

Buzzy was the first one I saw when I came out of my package.  He sure is a nifty little bee.  Funny too!
This is going to be such a fun challenge to do!!! 

Well, I know I haven't been keeping you up to date on the goings on here as much as I should have.  My host (well, one of them anyway) has been in the hospital for the past three weeks.  So, needless to say, there was not much for a princess to do.  I think I kinda fell short on this challenge....sorry mum. 
Here are some turkeys that wander all over town....just meandering down the road.  LOL
Here is another one.
  These kinds of places seem to be where most of the humans "hang out."
I thought this was THE nuttiest thing I have ever seen.  Square tires??
Anyway, that is all for now. 
I was wondering mum, could I stay just a LITTLE bit longer?  PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!

Well, I guess this will be my last update for the TV challenge.  It has been such fun here!  Thank you for letting me come on this challenge! Here are just a few last minute pics I want to show you before heading back home.

This is a kolache.  These are famous!  Verdigre (where I am at now) is the Kolache capital of the world!  They even have an annual celebration in honor of them!

mmmm....this smells great!

I had better stop while I'm ahead....lol

This is me with John and Melissa's new puppy Poppy.  She is such a great little pup!  They are not sure about the name Poppy though, so they are going to have a drawing tonight and see what they will name her.

This is me again with Poppy, or whatever her name will be.  I sure do like her!
Well, that it is all folks.  My adventure in Nebraska is ending, but I know there will be another one just around the corner.

Hey everyone! I traveled from the midwest to the east coast and have landed in Baltimore, Maryland, with my new host Ashe! I couldn't have come at a better time, since the next day, she was going to visit her best girlfriend Kris in North Carolina.

I helped Ashe pack.

She's really silly, look at all those bags for just a few days! I got to travel in her purse, though.

We had a lot of fun on the train, I slept a bit while Ashe read her textbooks for school. But we got a photo in:


The trip wasn't for anything exciting, Ashe said, it was just so she could hang out with her North Carolina friends! We ran to get groceries so we could cook dinner for them. Here I am in Kris' car:

The dry flowers behind me were from her wedding in October. It was sweet that she kept them!

We also worked on Kris' scrapbook with pictures from her wedding. Here I am helping her:


But on Wednesday, we had to say goodbye. Here I am posing with Kris. You can see her husband Jon's arm around her, but he didn't want to be in the photo:


I had so much fun! I was sad to leave. But I know there's more adventures left for me in Baltimore.

Love,
Princess Sarah

Hi everyone! My stay in Baltimore was rather uneventful, but I did do a couple fun, local things worth mentioning!

My host Ashe and I took a walk around Fells Point, a nearby burrow with a lot of antique shops. It was a nice day out.

We bought Old Bay-seasoned crab legs. Ashe told me they're not in season, usually Baltimoreans buy them in the summer by the pound and eat them on newspaper. But these were from a supermarket:


Aren't they weird-looking?


Another fun thing that we did was go and visit Ashe's old work. It's a place called Spoons Coffee House and Roastery, they roast their own coffee beans! They also are a green restaurant and use things like alternate energy sources and unbleached paper napkins. Here I am outside!


My time in Baltimore was sleepy but enjoyable, I'm glad I visited! I'm off to New Jersey next- I'm glad it's not far because I get smushed in the mail easily. See you guys soon!

Love,
Princess Sarah


Ashe and me, before she sent me off!

Happy Saint Patrick's Day!  I don't think there's a better place to celebrate this holiday than in New Jersey and New York City.

I had a lot of fun.  Wow, people in America, especially my hosts, really go crazy on St. Patrick's Day. 

Anyway, here I am in the evening, at the start of our feast of corned beef, cabbage, and lots and lots of Guinness beer.  I feel great... (hiccup) ... and for some reason I feel like singing...

My hosts took me to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. 

Of course, you know the Statue of Liberty.  It's very famous.  But my hosts, who live in New Jersey, shared with me a little known fact:  Liberty Island, where the statue stands, is actually in the territorial waters of New Jersey, not New York.

Ellis Island, just a few hundred meters away, is also very famous.  I was happy to visit here and to learn about this great place.  Millions and millions of immigrants first arrived here with their dreams for a better future.  They made this country great. 

Here I am, approaching Liberty Island by ferry...

Here I am on the Hudson River.  Behind me, you can see the southern tip of Manhattan.  It's the Financial District.  Just above my head is where the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center proudly stood, until that tragic day of 9-11-2001.
