56

They've got some great towns here in the South.
They could put a whole town underground in this cavern.
Hey, turn the lights on, will you?

Danger! Do not get too close to the edge!
Dinner for Dad.
And that was our outing in the Ozarks.

Mississippi

He he he: I'm on vacation again. It's a rabbit's life.
Here I am with Dad looking at the map of Missouri. They're pretty clever in this state, the way they hide the middle part of the map behind the doors. Keep some mystery for us.
But we're not here to see Missouri anyway. Our mission today is Mississippi. First stop: lunch in a park. They promise a lake down the road.
Then on to Wall Doxie State Park, near Holly Springs. I like it - the trees sit in the lake with their knees up.
Here's Dad and me looking at the map.In the morning we found a bigger lake, one with mist on it and guys out fishing but it doesn't have a fun swampy area where the trees sit with their knees out.
Hiking around this lake we heard lots of different kinds of birds, and made a rare sighting of the elusive Straight Bristled Toothbrush, in it's Blue Phase.
After that we drove through a lot of small towns on the Delta, and crossed into Arkansas. Rosie's Kitchen was closed. There isn't much open on Sundays in some places. But we found nourishment at a mexican restaurant in West Helena, and eventually made it to Mountain Home.
Catch ya'll later!

Vienna adventure

Let's start off our tour with Lunch! I'll take care of the salad. That's the hugest cordon bleu I've ever seen.
"One in Pink"! They knew I was coming!
Hmm, pretty big for a rabbit-hole. Not very discreet at all.
Hey, there is somebody down there! And it's not a rabbit.
It's Sunday, and sometimes you have to wait a few minutes for the streetcar to come for you.
My buddy Anton. I like his odd-numbered symphonies the best. 5. 7. 9.
One of those guys pretending to be a statue.
Some on-the-wall companions.I'm being bad! I wriggled through the fence and climbed up onto the big statue in front of one of the metro stations. How can one town have so many statues???
An empty pedestal. I wonder where its statue went.
Who's feet am I standing among?
It's Lions! They've got lions all over the place here. I just hope there are no live ones looking to snack on a tender rabbit.
My friend the Little Elephant in the Museum District.
Here are my buddies The Greek Philosophers, hanging out in the big chairs set out just for them in front of the parliament building. Tourists don't get chairs.
A rabbit! In fact, there are lots and lots of rabbits in the park along the river. I saw 'em. They were hiding in the bushes.
And to finish up, wiener schnitzel at a sidewalk café. I'll have the salad please.

Vienna park fun

We're off to explore the Prater park in Vienna. It's my kind of park - lots of grass you can run around on and playground equipment to have fun on.
Here's a neat one. I'm ready - let 'er rip!
Ha ha ha!!!
Hey, swings! I love playing on the swings.
Oh, losing my balance... it's hard to hang on with my little arms.
OK, Let's try the swings again later.
They's got a great tall slide in the park, too.
It's a long way down...
A very long way down...!
That was fun; I'm going back for more!
Tomorrow we'll go out and see some of the city.
Bye!

Off to Vienna

Yea, this time I get to go. No catsitting for yours-truly this trip. I've got my camera in my rucksack and we're taking off for Vienna tonight at 18:05.
Hey! Laars is wearing my cape!
That's my cape! Get back here!

Oh, sure, hide in the cat tree.
Well alright, you can wear my cape just a little. But don't you dare get it dirty, or chew on its edges.

Super strength

Another well-known aspect of Superheroism is Astounding Strength.
Britta and Astrid here will help me demonstrate this classic attribute.
I'll just lift it up over my head. Yes...
Oops, I seem to be losing my balance.
Ow.
Hey! I hear that squeaking!

Um, a little help someone?
