My Hershey Adventures

I'll ride in style- Cadillac Style - but think I'll be more comfortable inside with the air conditioner on! It's quite hot!

Two things to remember when traveling. Keys and the Map!

Valerie and Kinsey are joining me.

Their reaction to me joining them! Maybe they will ride in the car instead of the trunk (boot

I'll sit on this cushion with a guardian angel watching over me!

Mid morning snack!

Nothing better than hot fries for lunch...do we ever get out of the car and sit for a proper meal? Guess not; gotta keep rolling!

I pray as Kinsey is learning to drive!

Finally getting out of the car for a lovely meal; Italian!!!

We've arrived at our first destination, I'll rest on the chair.

On second thought, I'll guard the donuts all night; and if some are missing.....well, don't blame me!

Milton Hershey's home now is a huge hotel.

Lovely flowers all around and a fountain too. I wanted to jump in to cool off; but they would not let me!

Kinsey and Bucket relaxing in the hotel, feeling very much like royalty. 

From atop the hill, Hershey PA in my view!

Roller Coasters are awesome but I'm looking for the chocolate factory!

I made a wrong turn, and look what I discovered - a Casino. I forgot to bring my money and I do think I'm too young to go in! So I looked at all the flowers!

More Adventures

A stop at the candy shop... sweet girls, sweet treats!

Yummy dinner with the teddy bear artists and friends. Braddens in Old St. Charles!

Fried pickles? Well, the dipping sauce was good! Need some wine to wash it down! LOL

The rain stopped just as we parked the car and the sun came out!

Qiufang, Valerie and Bettina Groh with the Kilt clad Scotsman! I look so little next to him!

Art and George wishing me luck on my travels

No! No! I'm too young to drink! 

Before I headed to the St. Louis Zoo, in Missouri USA, I stopped in for a tasty treat

Wow, this is a big place. Where do I start

Perhaps I can keep my feet from aching by riding this wild 'thang'! 

The St Louis zoo has very rare animals. I have my eyes wide open!

Now what is this? The poor guy couldn't make up his mind to choose a color! Very unusual, I say!

Now if I just take a DikDik I'd get to the bear exhibit faster!

My friends, Qiufang and Valerie said I did not look as big when standing next the the elephant! Ha! Neither did they!

This part of the zoo is a little scary. Frogs, lizards, snakes, bugs and crickets!

I recognize these guys - but they did not want to stand up and greet me! 

I say old Roo, I'm an Aussie too, can't you stand and greet me? Well so it shall be. The heat has made them seek shade under the tree!

I could use a nap too....but not on a rock ledge

Yippes! I can't believe I'm sitting on a lions mane! The guide was very friendly and the mane was soft.....nice place for a nap..... until others wanted to feel the hair!

Marlin Perkins was the zoo's first curator and designer; he even had many TV programs that brought unusual animals to the attention of children. 

The monkeys seemed to have human faces. They did romp around in their habitat and that was fun to watch!

Cooling off with the penguins. The heat kept them inside where it was cool.

Where's his saddle?

The tortoises moved quickly - lettuce was calling to them.... is it lunch time yet?

I love black and white horses! Oh you say 'zebras!' Got it! 

 spotted this cute little creature....not sure what it was; she was watching the animals with a lot of interest

Ah, enjoying an ice cream....hope it doesn't melt before I get a lick! 

I'm galloping off to my next adventure.....on my Zebra! Giddy up! 

After a big day at the zoo, I enjoyed a little Saki, Beer and lots of sushi....hum, I wonder, did the fish come from the zoo's aquarium?

Bucket has more lessons with Art

Well this is fun, lessons in St Louis with Art Rogers and some lovely new friends

This is so lovely what an amazing creature you are

I got a bit tangled

I needed lots of food to build up my strength.
