Kaleb’s Travels

If you have been reading along with my series of blog entries, you will know that I had been in Nigeria visiting my Poppa, which is where he lives and works at the moment. I had spent a week there in Nigeria with my Nana as part of my around the world trip. But my time in Nigeria had come to an end. It was time for us to leave, our last day in Nigeria. We (Nana and I) were about to head to Managua, Nicaragua, via London and Miami. But before we left we still had some things to do.

The day before we had gone to the office and said goodbye to everybody there.

I was thinking of something I could do and I decided to do some art. It involved a lot of planing but it was worth it! At the beginning, I just thought of a house - just a normal boring old house - and then thought of such a better one so much better that it was just too good to have and thought it could be made out of toys!

And there you have it... a one of a kind house!

So, as explained in my other blog entries, my nana and I were in Nigeria in March because we went to see my poppa who works there. While we were in Nigeria we stayed at Poppa's apartment so we could get to see him lots. The apartment was in the city about half an hour away from the river.

This is the Pool

I thought that I could do some stuff with the GIMP, so I got some Internet photos and cut and pasted and so on and so forth. I chose a tiger theme because i was born in the year of the tiger. What do you think? You can do some funny things with the GIMP huh?!

So if you're using the GIMP, here is an example for you of what you can do. And also this is my first piece of art for the website.

When we were in Nigeria we went to a pizza place. We only went to the place once. I really liked this pizza place; it had upstairs downstairs and good pizza and really comfortable chairs. I cant remember what the pizza place was called (sorry).

We went by car to the restaurant. Jerome drove, of course. He drove us everywhere. At the front it was green and white like Christmas colours except without red. Nana, Pop and I all got out of the car and went inside.

When we got in, a waiter seated us. The waiter was a tall man with curly hair and black rimed glasses.

My only escape

One day there was a bunch of ants
They came across my pair of pants

METALLICA

Metallica is a heavy metal band who started producing music in 1983. It is said that they invented “speed metal” and “thrash metal”. They have produced 9 albums, several EPs, a lot of singles, a box set which includes CDs and movies of their live concerts, and two documentaries.

When I was in Nigeria I was staying in My Poppa's flat. The flat had a pool so me and Pop went down there I think three times.

We swam at the pool a lot. Sometimes we would have races and Pop won all the time, that's because I can't even swim properly yet.

When we went down there the first time I asked Pop how to dive into the water so he taught me how to. When he finished teaching me how I started diving off the diving board the whole time.

Today was very delightful because we were going to a restaurant called Chocolate Royale for lunch. I almost fainted when we got there, it was so exciting.

In my last blog entry I got woken up by a piercing screeeeeeech , I got up and Poppa was touching a grey BIRD. When he saw me he said “This is Felix.” And I said “Cool. When did you get a bird?”, then I said “Hello Felix.” and he squawked “Hello” right back to me.

Pop and I were going fishing later in the day so we had to get prepared.
