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!!!!

Tucson - A Trip to the Zoo - Part 2


I also saw friends of other animals I met on my way around the world, like Tortoise, whose cousin I met in Mauritius.

He came over for a nice chat.
I had to tell Mr. Tiger that we missed seeing his relative in India.
...tigers and bears. Oh my! The lion was just lying around sleeping when I visited. (They don't call him lion for nothing--get it?)
I saw a number of exotic birds. Mr. Peacock was a bit snooty. He likes showing off his beautiful colors.
This poor gal looks like she was bleached! Her babies were very cute.
This guy, not so much.
Or this guy.

These guys were a lot of fun.
Here's his playmate.
Another kitty.

Nice kitty, nice kitty--uh oh! I guess it's now time to look for the exit!!!
