Photo story: USA revisited - Part 1

Sam's Diary - July 2006 So.. After about 10 months or so of waiting, whining, bribing and craving, me (SAM) and the Caretaker FINALLY went back to the Land of Pretzels, AKA the United States of America. I'm embarrassed to say I traveled in a shoe bag (how humiliating!), so there's not much I can tell you about the flight itself, only that we had a stopover at Keflavik Airport in Reykjavik, Iceland.. and according to the Caretaker that place looked like a big flat brownie. So I guess I didn't miss anything major. Starting the day in the US of A This is me (SAM), waking up on the very first day of my vacation. I love it when my bed has lots of pillows on it, and the Caretaker's Collegue is pretty good in adding such important details to make my life as comfy as possible. (Not that I'm demanding or anything) First I spend some time in the bathroom, where I play with the soap for a bit and make my shoes wet. Usually the Caretaker makes me stop before I am completely done because it wants to take a shower. Showers are no good for anything, so I stumble downstairs to get some Real American Breakfast. Even a Real American Breakfast is not complete without hot, strong coffee. I like mine in a big mug. Some people think silly phrases on mugs are funny. I'm not sure why they give me this particular mug every day. I mean, everybody knows I always manage to retain an even temper most of the time! After I finish the Real American Breakfast, I go outside to take a long, deep breath and welcome the new day. There is not much Real American outside, by the way. It's just trees and grass and fences and stuff. However I'm always very photogenic, I think I look my best in real nature. In the back of the garden is this big thing where I can do my daily excercises to keep my body mean and lean. (Needless to say that the Caretaker is nowhere to be seen at this point.) I won't deny that some of the features are a bit scary if you're only 12" tall and the Caretaker is lacking it's duty to protect you from breaking legs, but after this picture was taken, I of course took the plunge. Honest! I'm cool like that. For my next birthday I want my own home trampoline. WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! After all this I am mentally and phisy.. physically ready and prepared to face whatever trip the Caretaker and Collegue might have in mind for the day.
