Windmills, walruses, and so forth

Hey kids,

Well, it has been a few days since I wrote. I have been very busy! Look at all of the windmills they have here:



I also saw some walruses on the coast. They call them sea elephants here because real walruses are bigger. Here are just a few of the hundred that I saw on the beach:



When I was taking the pictures of the windmills, this rabbit came right up to me and just sat there:



Now, I am in Colorado. There are mountains everywhere, and it is cold again. I am talking to some people here about saving energy.

I will be flying back to Germany this weekend. See you soon!

Love,

Coast

Hey kids,

Just a quick note because I am driving a lot today to all of the wind mills. The coast is beautiful here. Look at this:



I'll have some pictures of all of the windmills soon. Take care -I think about you every day!

Love,

California

Hey kids,

I am now in California after two weeks in New Orleans. I had to fly another four hours away from Germany to get here. I will be looking at some new wind mills here and writing about them.

The weather is even better here than in New Orleans. And a friend of mine works at a nice hotel here, so I get to stay at a nice place for free. Here is a picture of me at the swimming pool - too bad I didn't bring any swim trunks, but I didn't think it would be this hot!



I also ate some Mexican food yesterday. Mexico is very close to California. Look at the fish they gave me:



Ok, I will write you again soon. Give each other a hug from me. I miss you!

Love,
