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!!!!

Milan - To the Fair - Expo 2015

While in Europe we traveled to Italy to attend Expo 2015 in Milan. Here I am at the Castello Sforzesco (or in English the Sforza Castle)!
One of our stops was to the Italian Pavilion. It had some pretty interesting walls!







Here I am inside the Chinese Pavilion. Light torches were lit in different colors to form pictures.
This was a cool restaurant. I provide a nice contrast to all of the red!

Tables that represent Pangaea, the prehistoric super continent in Pavilion Zero.
I met many people at the fair. This guy was in the Chilean Pavilion. He did not say much.
Either did this guy in the Slow Food Pavilion. He was made out of corn!
This dog was pretty friendly.

This green guy didn't seem quite so friendly!
