Dear Mommy,
For the second day of Jayme's parents visit we went to a place called Okinawa World. Here I am where you buy your tickets.

At Okinawa World we got to go down through this neat cave and see all the neat rock formations inside. It was pretty hard to take pictures, but I hope you like them!.



More soon,
Penny

Dear Mommy,
Today we went to a placed call the Pineapple Park. While there we got to rid around in a cart to see all the various plants like palm trees, pineapples, and flowers. Here are some pcitures of our ride.





We also got to stop by the seashell museum there.


I'm sorry for any bluriness, I couldn't use the flash, but I know some came out blurry.

We also took Jayme's parents on a nature walk. There wasn't too much to see on the walk, but here's a view.

And the beach at the end was beautiful!

We also went down to Kokusai Street, which is the shopping street here on Japan. Many of the little shops here looked like this.

Lots of them sold these shisas, which are the guardians of Okinawa and found in many homes.


We went down one of the side streets that happened to be covered, here's what it looked like.

We also got to visit the Chinese Gardens. It was such a quiet calm place. I won't talk too much about it, just let you see the beautiful photos. It was a wonderful place to visit!

We also went to this lighthouse, its at a place called Camp Zanpa.

Isn't it a beautiful view down the coastline?

Dear Mommy,
Today Haggis arrived! We were very excited to meet him.

We also stopped by quickly at the store today and got some cherry blossoms for Jayme's table. She was surprised to see them in the store, and we couldn't resist bringing them home. Aren't they pretty?

Jayme says we'll be very, very busy in the upcoming weeks and she has many updates to write!
Penny

The final morning that Jayme's parents were here she took her mom to go get a pedicure. Toys can't get pedicures of course, but we did get to lounge in the chairs, and it is so comfy in there!

We tried to take a picture out the window, but it didn't come out. So we had to walk outside and take a picture for you, this is the view from the pedicure place. Isn't it nice?

I hope you liked the updates from their visit! I think we all need a real vacation now...
Penny

We also go to go spend a few hours relaxing at the beach one day when it was nice out!

All of us toys relaxed on the beach towel for awhile.

More soon,
Penny

Did you see the news stories about the huge dust storm in Beijing? We didn't have nearly so bad a problem, but we did get some left over dust from the storms. Here's the view from Jayme's apartment. Do you see the fog? That's all dust. Yuck! When you go outside you can taste it a bit. Jayme said the news sources say the dust is safe, but we didn't want to risk it, so we stayed inside unless we had to go out.

We did look up the dust storms in China though. We're very glad it wasn't that bad here!

After we looked up the dust storm I decided I'd been in Okinawa long enough So I packed up and headed out to my next host. I hope I have lots of new updates for you soon!

Mummy!!!!!!
You might think that I was lost. I thought the same starving in that envelope!
I could not understand what was happenning, because all noises I heard was Russian and I don`t speak Russian. When I jumped out of my envelope I began to growl and was going to scratch anyone who will approach me, but I saw TVs who was glad to see me. Only Ragamuffin was scared
I understood that I`m at my host`s home. Finally!
Luckily a cat lives here so I could told her everything at the language which nobody knows - cat one 

Unfortunately I have no time for having rest, because today we all are going to Kiev for the whole week-end! Guys promised to tell me in the train where is it and why we should go there.

Bye for now.
Penny.

Hello dear mummy!
I had not time to see something in Russia yet, but already visited another country - Ukraine (to be correct - its capital Kiev).

Quote:

Kiev or Kyiv is the capital and the largest city of Ukraine, located in the north central part of the country on the Dnieper River. The population as of the 2001 census was 2,611,300. However, higher numbers have been cited in the press. Kiev is an important industrial, scientific, educational and cultural centre of Eastern Europe. It is home to many high-tech industries, higher education institutions and world-famous historical landmarks. The city has an extensive infrastructure and highly developed system of public transport, including the Kiev Metro. Kiev was classified as a Beta world city- as of 2004.

We took the train and in 13 hours were in Kiev.
We saw some interesting places and made photos. For example I made a photo near Ukraine goverment! I enjoyed the hot weather (+35) and had fun!
I`ll come back to you soon

Hugs,
Penny.

Mummy,
here I am in the train on my way to Moscow back.

Hello mummy!
I was invited to visit Maria`s house in the country side!
It was sunny day and I liked to walk in the green grass...but suddenly I saw the iron rooster! I jumped on it and wanted to ride! But the I saw the second iron rooster and ran away and hidden in bushes.
In the evening we had grilled fish - special order for myself 

Hello mummy!
Maria is working hard all days long and I`m with her at her job. It is not very interesting, but she promised me that on week-end we`ll have fun
