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!!!!

Away I go to Buffalo - Part 3 Charles H. Hess Churches

One day we drove around looking at churches that Rev. Charles H. Hess was stationed at in the early 20th Century.

This one is on Grand Island!
Here is the simple, but beautiful interior.
Behind it is the "new" church. This was not yet built when Rev. Charles was here.
This is the interior of the modern church. Interesting cross.
Rev. Charles helped to build this church which cost only $22,000 to build, but that was in 1909 when a dollar could go much further.
Here is another church where he was stationed. It is in West Valley, New York.
I found this weird devise in front of the church. Not sure what it's function.
