Tsarmina's Travels: August 14th, 2013-- WV

Seriah Visits MD

Seriah flew in from New Mexico last week, and she and Rebecca met up today for the first time in a year and 3 months! We had lunch at Dottie's Café inside Englanders'. Well, Rebecca and Seriah had lunch. I had to stay hidden, because apparently the other customers aren't used to seeing a mountain lion in a restaurant!

Rebecca, Seriah and I outside the bookstore in Oakland. It took all my willpower to drag them out of the store. Bookworms!

In The Transportation Museum:

Seriah signed a guestbook at the front desk, writing that she was from NM, and the gentleman there couldn't figure out why Rebecca was wearing a Preston High T-shirt if she lived in New Mexico. So I had to explain to him that Seriah was from New Mexico and Rebecca was from West Virginia. And that Seriah was visiting. He had never seen a talking mountain lion before.

Here is Seriah, posing next to an old-fashioned saddle (which I had fun sitting on-- for once I was taller than Rebecca!)

We walked around some more, and I made the acquaintance of a very odd bear riding a rusty bike..... I think his name was Corduroy or something.....he was trying to hide from the security guard......

There was a sign on the elevator that said "No children under the age of 12 allowed on elevator without adult supervision." Well, Rebecca and Seriah are over 12, but we took the stairs anyway. Upstairs, there was a snowmobile:

There was also a giant yacht, but we didn't get a picture of that.

Garret County History Museum

This is how you would have to make yarn to knit with if you lived in 19th century, Seriah!

At the museum, Seriah's favorite room was the log cabin, and Rebecca's was the Victorian room.

Mirror, mirror, in the Victorian hall, who's the fairest of them all?

This is what Rebecca would have to wear in the marching band if this was 1933!

But only tragedy would await me in the dreaded train room:

The things I do for this blog!

Seriah thought it would be a good photo opportunity. So they tied me up with embroidery thread and thrust me onto the tracks-- right in the path of a speeding train!!!! (just kidding, it was not running)
