R.A.T. Your Rodent Around-the-World Traveler (a.k.a. Raz)

Hi, My name is R.A.T., which stands for Rodent Around-the-World Traveler (I like to think it stands for Rodent Adventure Traveler), but everyone here calls me Raz for short. I would love to share my adventures with you. I left my rat family in early January to seek adventure. Everyone said "head west young rat," so that is what I did. I headed west to San Diego, California where I ran out of land and had to hop on a ship to continue my journey. It turns out that the ship I found was going west around the world--a dream come true! The MV Explorer is home to the famous Semester at Sea study abroad program. My shipmates include 629 college students and about 150 faculty, staff, lifelong learners, and family members. Things are really busy here on the ship and even busier when we are in port. Come follow me vicariously as I take this incredible journey. Yours, R.A.T.

P.S. I had such a great time on the voyage that the adventure continues!!!!

India - Temples and Friends

Next stop was India. We went to Mamallapuram to see the Shore Temples.
Let's follow the crowd. These kids seem to know where they are going.
The amazing temples were surrounded by friendly cows.
I made friends with Nandi the cow there.
You have to watch out for the lions though!
Here is another friend I made at Mamallapuram. I really like her caterpillar shoes!
I made a bunch of other friends. They were visiting the temples on a school trip.
Here is a scary lion-elephant from another temple.
