Now that's what I call a snowman. I just hope his name isn't Frosty, cause if he comes to life, we are really in trouble.

One of the things that we did at Disney World that we had always wanted to do, was take a behind the scenes tour. Here we are at The Land in EPCOT taking a tour of their experimental growing area. The tour was really great and we would recommend it too anyone that wants to do something a little different at Disney. Here we are under a single tomato plant that has been cultivated as a tree. The plant is about 8 months old and has produced over 17,000 tomatoes and is still going strong. In fact, it is a world record.

Here we are eating again at Disney. This time we are having a great dinner at the Boatwright Restaurant at Columbia Harbour House at Port Orleans.

By Friday I was about worn out and needed an assist to get around the parks at Disney, so we rented an electric buggy. It really made a difference and allowed me to keep up with everyone else.

Here is our family after enjoying a great meal at the Living Seas in Epcot. The meal was fantastic and the waiter, in middle, was wonderful. I have no idea who the lady in the upper left is. Just another friendly face at Disney. Oh, by the way, we did eat our way thought Disney!

A dog named 'Columbo', a cross-breed between a poodle and a Maltese and dyed to look like a panda, sits on a chair in Tokyo November 30, 2005. The owner dyed the originally white coloured dog, with a special hair dye to cover up stains around its eyes which was conspicuous when he was first found abandoned. As a result, the panda look-alike became the most popular dog in the neighbourhood and the owner said he hopes Columbo's popularity will help rescue other abandoned dogs like Columbo, where in Tokyo last year, 700 of them were put to sleep.
