Runaway Rubber Duckie

THE WALKING CITY

2010-03-19T15:43:00.000-07:00

DEAR PEOPLE AT WOODSIDE:
HERE I AM IN THE "WALKING CITY", LET'S SEE IF YOU CAN GUESS WHAT CITY THIS IS.......

THIS BAR WAS THE INSPIRATION FOR THE TV SERIES "CHEERS"

THE TOWN GETS A NICKNAME FROM THIS POPULAR DISH

DOESNT THIS DINING HALL LOOK LIKE THE ONE IN THE HARRY POTTER MOVIE?? DO YOU KNOW WHAT I'M QUACKING ABOUT?... I WAS KICKED OUT IMMEDIATELY. NO DUCKS, THEY SAID, AND NO PICTURES...

I TRIED TO QUACK WITH SOME OF THE EDUCATED BIRDS, BUT THEY LIVE VERY HIGH UP..

THIS IS THE HARVARD LIBRARY....... IT'S UNDER HIGH SECURITY. I GOT TO GO IN BECAUSE I HAD TO USE THE LITTLE DUCK'S ROOM BADLY AND THEY TOOK PITY ON A CUTE LITTLE RUBBER DUCKIE LIKE ME...

UNTIL NEXT TIME, QUACK!!!!!!! LOVE, RUBBER DUCKIE

DEAR PEOPLE AT WOODSIDE:

I AM DELIGHTED TO BE IN BARCELONA, CATELONIA

THE PORT IS RECOGNIZABLE BY ITS STATUE OF OLD CHRIS COLOMBUS, FOREVER LOOKING OUT TO SEA...

AND THE CITY IS FAMOUS FOR ITS WALKING STREETS, LAS RAMBLAS, WHICH IS FILLED WITH STREET ARTISTS, CAFES, LIVE ANIMALS FOR SALE, AND PICK POCKETS. EVEN I WAS AFRAID OF BEING STOLEN OUT OF THAT GIRLS PURSE....

COLOMBUS MARKS THE BOTTOM OF LAS RAMBLAS, AS THE TOP OF THE STREET IS MARKED BY A FOUNTAIN, AND THE FAMOUS SPANISH DEPARTMENT STORE... WHICH HAS A GROCERY STORE IN THE BASEMENT. I LOVE LOOKING AT WHAT THERE IS TO OFFER AT FOREIGN GROCERY STORES.

FROZEN PAELLA!

LOTS OF MEAT, AND A WHOLE ISLE OF OLIVE OIL.

AND THE AFOREMENTIONED FOUNTAIN..

I ASKED THE OTHER BIRDS WHAT I COULD SEE HERE. THEY RECOMMENDED, FOR A GOOD FEED, STAY HERE, BUT FOR ADVENTURE, SEEK OUT THE GOTHIC QUARTER, WHERE GAUDI AND PICASSO HUNG OUT TOGETHER.

WHAT COULD THIS BE FOR? FOOT WASHING??
IT WAS HERE BY THE GOTHIC SECTION WE SAW AND TOURED THE PICASSO MUSEUM, WHICH IS NOT PHOTOGRAPHED, BECAUSE SOMEONE FORGOT...

IT BECAME LATE, AROUND 5 OR 6 PM, AND I SAW A WORK OF ART THAT ALSO HOUSES A FLAME FOR ALL CATALONIANS WHO DIED DEFENDING THEIR REGIONAL IDENTITY.
THEN I STOPPED AT A TAPAS BAR. THE DEAL IS, YOU GET A GLASS OF RED OR WHITE, THEN YOU GET A PLATE AND PICK FROM THE VARIOUS TAPAS THEY OFFER AROUND. THEN AT THE END, THEY COUNT HOW MANY TOOTHPICKS ARE ON YOUR PLATE, AND CHARGE YOU A EURO EACH. LUCKY THAT GIRL ONLY HAD 3. I HAD TO FINISH HER WINE. I NO LONGER WONDERED HOW THE NATIVES WAIT TO EAT SUPPER SO LATE, BECAUSE I WAS FULL ALREADY!

THEN WE HOPPED ON A BIKE, A WEE BIT TIPSY, IN SEARCH OF GAUDI BUILDINGS..

HERE IS ONE OF GAUDI'S APARTMENT BUILDINGS. IF WE ARE LUCKY, NEXT TIME WE WILL SEE THE FAMOUS SAGRADA FAMILIA CHURCH.

THEN WE STOPPED FOR THE EVENING MEAL, AT 10:30 PM, IT WAS PRIME DINING TIME. 15 EUROS AFFORDED A 3-COURSE MEAL, AND A HALF LITRE OF WINE. ALL THE GIRLS FRIENDS WERE ALREADY AT WORK ON THE VIKIING SHIP, BUT SHE HAD AN EVENING OFF, AND WASNT GOING TO WASTE IT! SO JUST A GIRL AND A DUCK SAT DOWN TO GAZPACHO...

THEY GIVE YOU A PLATE OF CHOPPED VEGETABLES WITH YOUR GAZPACHO, SO YOU CAN ADD YOUR OWN, ACCORDING TO TASTE...

AND THEN CAME THE SEAFOOD PAELLA, WHICH WE HAD BEEN ANTICIPATING ALL
DAY.

AND TIPSY AGAIN, YET FULL WITH PAELLA, WE CYCLED HOME AT MIDNIGHT TO THE VIKING SHIP!!

CHEERS, LOVE AND QUACKS, FROM RUNAWAY RUBBER DUCKIE AND THAT GIRL!

DEAR PEOPLE,

I HAVEN'T QUACKED WITH YOU IN A WHILE.

HERE'S WHY:

DEAR PEOPLE

2007-01-23T16:39:00.000-08:00

DEAR PEOPLE FRIENDS:
I HAVE BEEN RECEIVING MANY QUESTIONS FROM YOU LATELY.
FOR STARTERS, YOU ARE WONDERING HOW I TRAVEL AROUND. DO I WALK? DO I FLY?

AFTER FLYING AWAY FROM HOME, I STARTED MY WORLD TRAVELS ON MY MOTORBIKE. AFTER CRASHING MY BIKE, I HOPPED ON A TRAIN. IT WAS SOON DISCOVERED BY MY PEOPLE AT WOODSIDE THAT, IN ACTUAL FACT, I WAS TRAVELING BY SHIP.

YES, I DO FLY, AFTER ALL, I DID FLY AWAY FROM MY HOME AT WOODSIDE FARM. AND I LIKE TO FLY UP HILLS TO SEE THE VIEW. BUT I CAN'T SWIM VERY WELL.
THE PEOPLE AT WOODSIDE ALWAYS WONDER, WHO IS TAKING THE PICTURES? WELL, I DO WHAT EVERY TOURIST DOES: I HAND MY CAMERA TO A LOCAL, AND POSE!

I ALSO FIGHT FOR DUCKIE RIGHTS AROUND THE WORLD.

I STILL TRAVEL BY TRAIN AND SHIP FREQUENTLY. I WILL SEE ASIA SOON, AMONG MANY OTHER EXOTIC DESTINATIONS.

THANK-YOU READERS, AND STAY TUNED FOR MORE ADVENTURES!
BIG QUACKS, RRD

DEAR PEOPLE AT WOODSIDE:
QUACK!
ON MY JOURNEY UP THE ST LAURENCE SEAWAY INTO THE SAUGENAY RIVER, I SPOTTED SOME UNUSUAL SIGHTS:

THE FIRST, PERCHED HIGH UPON A ROCKY HILLTOP, IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE WAS A GIANT VIRGIN MARY - LEGEND HAS IT THAT A MISTER ROBATAILLE , A TRAVELING SALESMAN, SLID OFF THE ICY ROAD ABOVE WITH HIS VEHICLE AND BOX OF SAMPLES INTO THE OCEAN. AS HE PLUNGED DOWN INTO THE ICY COLD WATER HE PRAYED TO THE VIRGIN MARY, AND INSTANTLY HIS CART AND HIM AND EVEN THE BOX OF SAMPLES WERE LIFTED BACK ONTO THE ROAD. MAYBE THATS WHY THERE DOESNT SEEM TO BE A ROAD THERE ANYMORE... ANYWAYS, I THINK HE HIED LATER IN THE HOSPITAL OF HYPOTHERMIA AND THE VIRGIN MARY WAS PUT THERE AS A TESTIMONY TO THE MIRACLE.

AND RIGHT UNDERNEATH MARY WERE SOME BABY BELUGAS....

2006-05-27T21:52:00.000-07:00

DEAR PEOPLE AT WOODSIDE:
WHEN I LANDED IN THIS PORT, I IMMEDIATELY KNEW SOMETHING WAS STRANGE.....
FIRST OF ALL, A STREET WAS NAMED AFTER MY LATE ANCESTOR, SIR ROBERT Q DUCKWORTH........

AND THEN I SAW THIS FAMILIAR PLACE..... AND I REALIZED WE MUST HAVE DRIFTED INTO CANADA!

I SPOKE WITH SOME OF THE LOCALS. THE LOOK LIKE THE DUCKS AT HOME, BUT WHAT QUEER ACCENTS......

I FLEW UP THE HILL, AS USUAL, TO GET THE BEST VIEW OF THE VIKING SHIP AS POSSIBLE.........

I ASKED THE OTHER BIRDS, "WHAT WAS SO HISTORIC THAT HAPPENED AT SIGNAL HILL?" THEIR REPLY: "WHY, THE BATTLE OF SIGNAL HILL, OF COURSE!"

FROM HERE I HAD A VIEW OF THE MOST EASTERN POINT OF LAND IN NORTH AMERICA. JUST THINK.... THE ONLY WAY I CAN GO IS WEST!

ITS NICE TO BE HOME AGAIN...... KIND OF!!!
QUACK, RUBBER DUCKIE

I DIDNT KNOW THAN GREENLAND WAS A PART OF DENMARK, DID YOU?? SANTA CLAUSE LIVES HERE, AND I WENT AND SAW WHERE ALL HIS LETTERS GO TO. ALL THE LOCALS CAME TO WATCH THE TENDER BOATS COME IN AND OUT, HAVING NOTHING BETTER TO DO. HERE IS A PICTURE STORY OF MY DAY...

WHEN I SAW THE CANADA FLAG HANGING FROM THIS WINDOW I FELT A LITTLE HOMESICK AND STARTED WANDERING AROUND SEEING OTHER THINGS THAT REMIND ME OF HOME...

LIKE THE FLOWERS IN THE LADY'S GARDEN

OVERPRICED RHUBARB NECTAR

THIS LOOKS A BIT LIKE THE FARM....

I ASKED THAT BIRD IF THERE WERE ANY MORE FARMS AROUND. HE DIDNT KNOW, BUT COMPLIMENTED ME ON MY ACCENT

I FINALLY FOUND SOME BLACKBERRIES TO PECK AT!

CRUELTY TO DUCKS

2005-08-12T18:16:00.000-07:00

DEAR PEOPLE AT WOODSIDE: I HAVE WITNESSED SOME MAJOR ATROCITIES LATELY.
THEY WAY THEY TREAT RUBBER DUCKIES IN EUROPE APPALS ME.
HERE I AM AT TIVOLI GARDENS IN COPENHAGEN, WHERE HUMANS FISH FOR RUBBER DUCKIES FOR PRIZES. THESE DUCKS HAVE NO FREEDOM, AND ARE OBVIOUSLY LOBOTOMIZED, AS I CAN TELL FROM THE METAL PLATES IN THEIR HEADS. I SPENT A WHILE COUNCELLING THESE POOR DUCKS, BUT I THINK THEY ARE BEYOND THE POINT OF EVER BECOMING NORMAL AGAIN. IF THINGS LIKE THIS CONTINUE I MIGHT HAVE TO FLY AWAY FROM EUROPE SOON. LOVE, RUBBER DUCKIE.

joan of arc

2005-07-21T10:22:00.000-07:00

dear people at woodside: here i am now in rouen france, where joan of arc was burned
its a nice little city

this cathedral was the subject of many monet paintings. at night they project the paintings on the cathedral along with music , it's really beautiful

i got a chance to go inside and fly around

i pecked at a crepe..

this is the joan of arc tower where she was imprisoned and tried. it was closed.

and this is the place where they burned her. there's a church here now and some monuments

and water running from the church.. to put out fires????? there are cafes all around this square, i can sit and have a coffee and look at the place they burned joan of arc...... waiter i'll take the flambe ... i forgot they eat ducks like me here... i'd better go......

maybe i'm irish...

2005-07-19T22:06:00.000-07:00

dear people at woodside

i have come to ireland looking for my duckie roots
dublin was founded by vikings, i think i'm along the right track

the first think i did was take a bus tour, it dropped me off at all the important sights and i didnt have to tire my poor wings out

this is where the president of ireland lives. she leaves a light on at all times as a symbol for all irish immigrants abroad to tell them they are welcome to come back and live in ireland again

and this stop is for the old man at the farm

the guinness factory

the bar at the top of the guinness factory has a nice view of dublin

cheers, love, rubber duckie

Dear people at woodside: the duck pond sounds lovely, though im not a talented swimmer... anyways, the weather here is not quite warm enough to splash around. in fact, its so cold i went shopping for a sweater.. the neck hole was too small for my big fat head. i couldnt find any ponies although i tried to... perhaps they are shy. love, rubber duckie

just another duck on a train

2005-07-04T21:21:00.000-07:00

DEAR PEOPLE AT WOODSIDE:
THE SEARCH FOR SOMETHING EXOTIC BROUGHT ME AGAIN TO RUSSIA - THIS TIME I WENT BY TRAIN TO EXPLORE THE CITY OF MOSCOW......

it was a long train ride , overnight..

luckily i brought my bird seed with me as they dont seem to have any in russia... they served me coffee in the morning

we arrived at lenin station

the kremlin was closed

some humans were tossing coins and some gypsy humans were scrambling for them

red square

in front of lenin's tomb..... it was closed too.

the tower of secrets?? i should fly over that wall and into the kremlin

this church was mowed down by stalin to make the worlds largest swimming pool.

but then they spent all their money and bought a new one

quacks until next time!!! love, rubber duckie

dear people at woodside:

I'm not so certain about wearing life jackets, though i did find this lovley village by the sea, where the pizza and cappuccinos are sublime. the view here almost rivals that of the tree outside your window.

I should have listened to you, hockey isnt all its quacked up to be. i've decided to take a wing at football instead!!

love, your rubber duckie

Woodside Replies

2005-04-23T10:30:00.000-07:00

Dear Rubber Duckie. We are all quacked up about your flight to the exotic
land of HOCKEY. Just think you will be able to watch fights on ice almost
all the time. The friends you left behind are saying - Oh what bad luck
that our lovely duck went after a puck just to get stuck with a game that
sucks. But, it is noticed that a lot of really nice people watch hockey so
you are in good company and the birds outside the window where you lived
still fly about and sing to you. Have a good hockey day.

dear woodside farm

2005-04-22T09:10:00.000-07:00

dear people at woodside

quack!!! it's me, your rubber duckie. i ran away from home. In all those days spent gazing out the windowsill, staring at the wild birds made me realize one thing: i have never seen a hockey game. so the other day when you left the window open i decided to fly away from woodside farm in search of something exotic, and to make my fortune in the world. QUACK! i hope you understand. love, your rubber duckie
