Look who came to visit Carmel?

Yesterday we got a surprise package in the mail. The customs sheet said it was from Baghdad, Iraq, and was from a Lt. Commander in the Navy. After carefully unwrapping the box we found Simba, the Lion. Simba is originally from a fifth grade class in Montana, and is finding his way all around the world, and then back to Montana in May 2006.

We were very excited to be included in this project, and here is a picture of Austin with Simba at the Carmel Beach. The World Famous Pebble Beach Golf Course is in the back!

Simba will continue his travels tomorrow...who will he go to? where will he end up? Hopefully back in the arms of his loving owner, John (nephew to our good friends the Emersons in Virginia Beach, Virginia).

I love projects like this. It gives children a sense of how big the world is and how connected we are anyway.
