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!!!!

Chicago - Art & More Art? - Part 2


Now this is art. This guy Rembrandt could paint!

The Greek must have had a lot of basketball players as friends. These guys are really tall.

Wow, what an architectural ruin!

This little painting looks familiar.

Here is the similar one I was looking for! One of Ferris's and Cameron's (and my) favorites, George Seurat's A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte
Tahiti looks like a wonderful and colorful place!
This bedroom looks a bit like a fun house.
Here's a self portrait of the artist painted a couple years before the little ear episode.
One of Cezanne's still lifes. Looks like the fruit is rolling all over the place.
Renoir's circus girls are helping to pick them up.
I like the sense of movement in Degas's painting of these ballerinas.
Oooh Monet! Great atmosphere!
Pretty water lilies!
How do you find so much color in a stack of wheat?
Wait! Didn't I just see this painting?
They seem to be multiplying!
Talk about color!
Chagall's glass window has even more intense color!
