Its not too late! He has only made it to america and now canada after been on the road a year! Hasnt gone to Europe yet, which is his homeward bound route from Asia and the middle east!

Hey guys,
I'm really busy right now with work, some writing and photography projects, preparing for Christmas, and my trip to NYC right now- Larry should be ready to move on around Boxing Day. (I'll also have been payed by then- this is really sad, but I'm too broke to even mail a leperchaun!!) I'm busy planning some more adventures and putting all of the photos I've taken onto the Disc.

don't get cheeky you filthy Prussian or are you one of those penny pinchers from BW? I forgot. Well, it doesn't matter. I'll post some pics that will speak for themselves.
If you don't call this civilization, what else do you call it:

Our world famous cuisine and table manners


Our pets


Our hight-tech public transport system


Our pleasant climate


whereas if Larry visits non-Bavaria, he will find this







... and more horrors that I don't dare describe!!!

besides, I'm from Franconia (Franken). As you can clearly see in this map, Fraconia is not in Bavaria.

That's great! Then just put me on the list where it would be most convenient for Larry! Looking forward to more pictures of him around the world .


You know, Sleepy, I was kinda hoping you would never see that post..

I can't wait for Larry to have a good German beer? Will he give up on Guiness?

Hey all! Was just wondering who Larry is moving onto next.
He's just about done here in Guelph =[
I'm getting him all packed up, saving photos to disk, making a final journal entry, etc.

Wow... it's really taking some time, i was going to say that if he made it here by summer, he could come to Sierra Leone with me.. but that seems unlikely. I guess I can take him on a weekend trip to visit norwegian relatives
