The Roger P. Monkey US Tour, 2006-2007

It's been fun hanging out in Texas with my girls and meeting Santa and Papa Smurf.



However, I think it's time to move on. I'm taking a long trip - from the South to the Northeast to the Northwest then back home to California. I'm going to go hang out in Washington, DC for a few days, then take the train to New York and party. Then it's another train trip - a long one - across the nation from New York to Seattle. A few days in Seattle, then down to Salem and finally home after visiting Oregon's capital.

Trains are a great way to travel. Food, hotel, and transportation all wrapped up in the same package, plus a good way to view the scenery. Maybe this time I won't get mooned, like those rafters did when I was taking the train through Colorado! That scenery was something I could've lived without.

Trip Down Memory Lane: Vegas 2006

I spent Thanksgiving in Las Vegas. I stayed with a friend who has a very active puppy, so I spent my time at her apartment hiding on a bookshelf hoping he wouldn't attack. I steered clear of the casinos (since I don't have my own money anyway), but did enjoy a nice visit to the Hoover Dam.


I went on the tour under the dam. It was a little scary going down so far and being under all that water. Here's a picture of one of the big pipes that the water goes through.






Later I went up on the dam. Here's a shot of me sitting near it, and another shot of the view from the dam.




Over by the visitor's center, there are some neat sculptures. There's also a sundial that has all the signs of the zodiac around it. Here's me posing with my sign, Cancer.

Welcome to my adventures!

I'm just an easy-going monkey who likes to travel. I was born in Texas in June 2002 and moved to California when I was just a few days old. Since then, I've traveled by train, plane, and automobile to places as close as Yosemite and as far away as Hawaii and Chicago. I thought it might be great to have a place where I could write about my travels and share some pictures. What better way than a travel blog?

Hope you enjoy it!
