A Little Pig Goes a Long Way

 
 

 

A long time ago in a land far, far away there was a  movie named "Babe."

A little cafe offered Babe toys with their meals for little children. 

This is the journey of one little pig who has traveled a very long way!

If you have a globe or a map you might want to see if you and your children can find the places that Babe has visited 

 

 

 
    Babe at the Paris Opera House.  He loved the beautiful building and the lovely music people played there.  How do like the beret?

Paris, France, June 2001

 
 

Babe at Trevi Fountain, Rome, Italy.  He threw a coin in this fountain.  He wants to come back here soon.  They have great ice cream nearby! 

   

Babe at the Colosseum, Rome, Italy.  He liked pretending to be the Emperor as he looked out over the arena.

 

 
    Babe at the beach in Gaeta, Italy

This lovely city sits right on the water.  It has a mountain that is said to have split in the earthquake on the day of Christ's crucifixion.

There are over 270 steps down into the grotto that was formed.   This was used as a pirate hideout at one time.   Arrgh.  Babe enjoyed playing pirates while he was there.  But he forgot his eye patch.  

 
  Babe is enjoying the view of the Rhein Falls in Germany. To warm up a bit he had a cappuccino at a nearby cafe.     

 
    Ancient Roman sites are found all over Europe.  This Roman bath house is no where near Rome.  It is in Bath, England.  The Romans came to England in 43 AD.    

 The springs have been in continuous use since the Roman times.  

Babe refused to take a bath here because he did not have his bath gel and rubber ducky.

 
 

Babe in Paris, France

He saw all the sights!   The bridges were his favorite.  He really enjoyed eating chocolate crepes at a sidewalk cafe as well.

 

 

 

 

 

How about this view of the Eiffel Tower from the Arch de Triumph?  He was glad it was not too windy

 
 

Here is Babe in the marble courtyard of the palace at Versailles, France.  Ooh La La what a lovely beret!

While here Babe toured the castle and the grounds.  He even had a nice lunch in the middle of the garden.

   
 

Babe in London, England

Big Ben and the Sherlock Holmes museum.   It just does not get any better than that!

 

 

 

 

He loved Buckingham Palace.  Although he missed tea with the queen.

 
  Babe at Souda Bay, Greece

He thought this was a lovely place to visit.  The food was good and once again he got to be near the water with his friends.

   

 
 

  Babe escaped the rains of the Northwest when he went to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. 

While he was there he painted a Red Cross clinic.  

 
 

Babe also enjoyed a trip to Twin Falls, Idaho.

This trip he shared with a little girl who would only listen to Winnie the Pooh songs.

However, he was confused.  There is only one fall at Twin Falls.  Why aren't there two?

 

 
 

 

  Babe checked into the Hotel California in Baja California, Mexico. 

Fortunately he was able to check out!

He had a lot of places to visit.

 
  Babe on the beach in Bali, Indonesia.

 He was traveling with Richard.  Since Babe is afraid of the waves, Richard had to put him on his shoulder.

   
    Richard and Babe were driving around England and made a stop at the Nazarene Theological College in Manchester, England.

They had to look at the books in the library and explore the grounds of the school.

 
  Babe also enjoyed visiting the European Nazarene Bible College on  the border of Germany and Switzerland.

He had lunch with the students and enjoyed checking out the area with friends, 

   
    Babe had an opportunity to visit Darwin, Australia. 

He loved riding in this blue car on his way to the beach. 

 
  Here is Babe once again with Richard.  Now they are in Jebal Ali

Richard had to hold Babe so he would not be trampled on the busy street.

I wonder if they bought anything for Lynda at this store?

   
    This Neuschwanstein Castle is located in Bavaria, Germany.  You can tell this by the hat that Babe is wearing.  He attempts to dress appropriately for the location.

He took a carriage ride up the hill.  He wanted to save his energy for the tour and eating a big soft pretzel with cheese!

 
  Where do you think Babe is?  No, he is not in France.  He is in England.  France and England both have an island with a castle on it.  Both are accessible by foot and car during low tide.  When he visited St Michael's Mount in  England there were small shuttle boats to take him to the island.   Both islands have mounts named for St. Michael.     
    Babe enjoys watching a show from the BBC called The Vicar of Dibley.  Richard took Babe to visit the village in England.  

This village was also used in the movie Chitty, Chitty, Bang, Bang.  The windmill is still on the hill overlooking the town.

The actual name of the village is Turville.

 
      As Babe travels the world he will post more pictures here.  Be sure to check back on his adventures.
