@ Turquoise Tranquility GRACE and Icicle now know where to find Fantastic Buildings, as they have been given a free map! Before unfolding it, they read the cover: Beck For this leg of the travel game, the pets embark on a river trip past many beautiful buildings. They will need to wrap up warmly before arriving at the cold, snowy region before the boat continues over open water and past a sturdy old lighthouse before reaching the next landing stage, where the climate is much warmer! They will stretch their legs or wings by crossing the bridge back to their starting point. Turquoise Tranquility If you're looking for a peaceful excursion that woos your soul and wows your sight, then this journey along the waterway is just for you! Our first encounter is with a majestic oriental structure whose colors and spires become tinted in the deep blue waters that pass alongside it. If you listen closely, you'll hear the gentle breeze touching the leaves of the nearby trees.
While visiting Fantastic Buildings, you met Icicle.
GRACE shook paws with Icicle the Arctic Feisty Fox. They both received one silver mole!
@ Serene Reflection GRACE and Bandit were entranced at reaching this stopping place and eagerly posed for a picture standing on either side of the new attraction they had just seen! Serene Reflection Just next door on this "It's a Small World" type of water cruise is another structure without the tall spires whose oriental style whispers loudly as it casts its reflection in vivid colors across the water. If you look closely you can see cherry blossoms floating upon the water's glass-like surface which you can scoop up to make a fragrant souvenir.
While visiting Fantastic Buildings, you met Bandit.
GRACE shook paws with Bandit the Black Feisty Fox. They both received one silver mole!
@ Calm Sunset Whoot was distracted by the sounds of loud rustling as GRACE unfolded a very large tourist map, in the course of which she succeeded in knocking Whoot’s hat off. “Put that away, do!” snapped Whoot. “We’re about to pose on either side of this amazing scene—the picture will be of your map if you don’t fold it up pronto!” Calm Sunset Next up is another Asian-style structure with a very tall spire. Since you left on this journey in the mid-afternoon, the sun is now setting, affording the opportunity to see this building, and the unique bridge that precedes it, all lit up under a purple-red sunset. While not an ocean liner, you do have a soft pillow and mat to lay on, as well as a warm, fleece blanket to cover up with for the evening.
While visiting Fantastic Buildings, you met Whoot.
GRACE shook paws with Whoot the Brown Owl. They both received one silver mole!
@ Awakened But Not Alarmed GRACE was very happy to meet Mushroom here! They shook paws and both swapped tales of their experiences of their travels so far! Awakened But Not Alarmed You are awakened early in the morning by a passing boat as you find yourself no longer in spacious waters with elegant buildings along the shore, but up close and personal to many colorful homes and businesses for whom the water is like a street on which they border. Even with having to share the waterway with others, and with structures so close, your soul still is calmed by the sound of the lapping waves against stone and concrete buildings.
While visiting Fantastic Buildings, you met Mushroom.
GRACE shook paws with Mushroom the Bashful Badger. They both received one silver mole!
@ Off the Beaten Path GRACE and Casper were entranced at reaching this stopping place and eagerly posed for a picture standing on either side of the new attraction they had just seen! Off the Beaten Path Navigating under a bridge, you become enveloped by even older structures on both sides, each brick having many stories to tell of passersby on their way to work, to meet with friends, or to run errands. You wonder if the waters bring a peace to their souls while they are busy as the waters have to yours as you relax.
While visiting Fantastic Buildings, you met Casper.
GRACE shook paws with Casper the Blue Beautiful Unicorn. They both received one silver mole!
@ Water Wheel Sounds “You know, I'd like to spend a whole week here, GRACE!” said Crocodile Beauty. "It's very nice indeed—but you never know, the next leg of the tour might be even better!" said GRACE. Water Wheel Sounds Tucked away a little further from the bridge is this pleasant little homestead. Some of the river's waters are caught by the small "buckets" that are part of a large water wheel, which generates power for the dwellers in this home. You find its turning to be calming as you quietly pass by.
While visiting Fantastic Buildings, you met Crocodile Beauty.
GRACE shook paws with Crocodile Beauty the Green Beautiful Unicorn. They both received one silver mole!
@ High Up House GRACE and Granville very long name indeed were entranced at reaching this stopping place and eagerly posed for a picture standing on either side of the new attraction they had just seen! High Up House Just around a bend you find a neat little chunk of land in the middle of the river, and a quaint little house on stilts. While at this time the waters seem very peaceful, the fact that the structure is raised up on these poles tells you that there are times when the waters no doubt churn and rise. Knowing that they are safe must give the homeowners a sense of peace just as you have as you travel by.
While visiting Fantastic Buildings, you met Granville very long name indeed.
GRACE shook paws with Granville very long name indeed the Bashful Badger. They both received one silver mole!
Granville very long name indeed and you found 5 Travel Tokens!
@ Corner Congestion “Wouldn't it be lovely to live in a lighthouse? So romantic!" mused GRACE, lying back on the boat cushions. "Well, I don't know," said Suzie. "It's not all about drinking coffee and gazing at the sea. You have run up and down stairs, operate the light and the foghorn, and there may be no running water or electricity apart from a generator." Suzie considered this. "Mine would be a luxurious, converted, non-operational lighthouse, then." Corner Congestion You next come upon a community whose leading-edge borders right next to the river's shore, so close that you think you could reach out and touch the various structures! You also notice that there doesn't seem to be any space between the buildings, and it reminds you of how you are creating space in your life - margins - room to breathe so you can better handle each day.
While visiting Fantastic Buildings, you met Suzie.
GRACE shook paws with Suzie the Midnight Happy Dragon. They both received one silver mole!
@ Bridge Over Peaceful Waters GRACE is enjoying Fantastic Buildings when Crocodile Beauty comes along. "Look! A special prize!" says Crocodile Beauty. GRACE looks down and sees something valuable. Crocodile Beauty generously lets GRACE keep it! Glory of Autumn Grass One of the joys of an autumn drive in the country is seeing the beauty of the rust and golden-hued grasses in the meadows and fields where little pets frolic and play. Bridge Over Peaceful Waters Past this busy "corner," you can see more of the community that has grown more inland over time. The bridge you travel under speaks of simpler, quieter days that once were the norm for these townsfolk. You hope that pets will stop long enough on the bridge to look down at their reflections in the water and just breathe a few relaxing breaths.
While visiting Fantastic Buildings, you met Crocodile Beauty.
GRACE shook paws with Crocodile Beauty the Green Beautiful Unicorn. They both received one silver mole!
Crocodile Beauty gave you 1 "Glory of Autumn Grass"
@ Slowing Down “You know, I'd like to spend a whole week here, GRACE!” said Edith. "It's very nice indeed—but you never know, the next leg of the tour might be even better!" said GRACE. Slowing Down Shortly past the bridge you come upon another section of this little town and find that while there are many boats that could no doubt fill up the breadth of the river, most are docked and the town has a gentle quietness to it as nightfall is coming and folks are settling in for the evening.
While visiting Fantastic Buildings, you met Edith.
GRACE shook paws with Edith the Bashful Badger. They both received one silver mole!
@ Illuminated Reflections Mousey was distracted by the sounds of loud rustling as GRACE unfolded a very large tourist map, in the course of which she succeeded in knocking Mousey’s hat off. “Put that away, do!” snapped Mousey. “We’re about to pose on either side of this amazing scene—the picture will be of your map if you don’t fold it up pronto!” Illuminated Reflections As you near your lodgings for the night, you are blessed once again with the glow of lights from the homes and street lamps glistening upon the water. The smell of the flowers wafts all around your boat and you notice a crisp chill in the air. It feels like there is snow high in the air.
While visiting Fantastic Buildings, you met Mousey.
GRACE shook paws with Mousey the House Mouse. They both received one silver mole!
@ Quiet Snowfall “If you lived in a watermill you could run courses on breadmaking and things,” mused Artie, lying back in the boat, enjoying the gentle motion on the water. GRACE snorted. "Breadmaking—I've yet to see you make toast without burning it!" Quiet Snowfall Sure enough, as you awaken on your second morning of this river excursion, as you motor away from this community, you see snow high up in the mountains and down low upon the houses. What a neat perspective when you "step back" from your immediate surroundings and can take in the "bigger picture" of where you are (or were, in this case)!
While visiting Fantastic Buildings, you met Artie.
GRACE shook paws with Artie the Arctic Feisty Fox. They both received one silver mole!
@ Stand Out Structure “If you lived in a watermill you could run courses on breadmaking and things,” mused Dave, lying back in the boat, enjoying the gentle motion on the water. GRACE snorted. "Breadmaking—I've yet to see you make toast without burning it!" Stand Out Structure After a short time you come across a structure much like the first oriental ones you saw on your first day. This stands out to you compared to all of the tight-fitting townhouses in the community you just left. While the same snow fell in both areas upon all of the amazing structures, you appreciate how each building has its own personality, fulfilling its own purpose.
While visiting Fantastic Buildings, you met Dave.
GRACE shook paws with Dave the Playful Penguin. They both received one silver mole!
@ Contemplating the Castles “You know, I'd like to spend a whole week here, GRACE!” said gemma. "It's very nice indeed—but you never know, the next leg of the tour might be even better!" said GRACE. Contemplating the Castles Speaking of personalities, castles seem to have some of the most mysterious and majestic ones that one can encounter. Aged, weathered, strong and steady, these sturdy structures stand out and call out to all who pass by of a simpler time. The waters that sometimes isolate these stone creations from all around them remind you to have healthy boundaries in every area of your life.
While visiting Fantastic Buildings, you met gemma.
GRACE shook paws with gemma the Black Great Dane. They both received one silver mole!
@ Quiet and Quaint "I want this river trip never to end, GRACE! It's all so great!" GRACE took a more prosaic view. "Even if we were on the Nile, we'd come to the end of its 4000 miles eventually." "Ooh, not the Nile, think of all those huge crocodiles! This is a nice, friendly river." Quiet and Quaint Just a little ways beyond the castle is a colorful group of homes and shops, as always, by the water's edge. While nestled close to one another, in the evening sun of your second full day these structures don't shout "busy" or "bustling," but seem to whisper, "blessed" as they cast an almost-perfectly still reflection upon the water.
While visiting Fantastic Buildings, you met FiFi.
GRACE shook paws with FiFi the Red Feisty Fox. They both received one silver mole!
@ River Rest “I could stay here forever, GRACE,” said Spirit. “This is an amazing place!” “Well, you never know what lies ahead, Spirit. I wouldn't be surprised if the next stop is even better!” said GRACE. River Rest Having passed those homes and shops, you come to your evening's destination, a set of houses on short stilts built into the gentle slope of the river's edge. Here weary travelers such as yourself will find a good dock for your boat and a good dinner for your belly. You settle in for the evening, wondering at what you'll encounter along the way during your third full day.
While visiting Fantastic Buildings, you met Spirit.
GRACE shook paws with Spirit the Wild Brumby Horse. They both received one silver mole!
@ Spanish Castle GRACE is admiring some Fantastic Buildings when Slider comes along. "Look! Another special prize!" says Slider. GRACE looks down and sees it. Slider generously lets GRACE keep it! Glory of Autumn Treeline 2 One of the joys of an autumn drive in the country is seeing the pastoral beauty of the rows of gloriously hued roadside trees enveloping you in their magnificence and refreshing your soul. Spanish Castle With a new day comes new destinations that are tropical in nature - which is the fun of this excursion: it's magical! You first encounter a "castle" of sorts with a Spanish flair to it, with stones that are sandy in color and texture. Surrounding, but not overpowering it, are palm trees that sway with the warm breezes that frequent this area.
While visiting Fantastic Buildings, you met Slider.
GRACE shook paws with Slider the Stormy Sky Bunny. They both received one silver mole!
@ Peaceful Harbor "It's turned a bit cold, GRACE, I'm going to put my beanie hat on," said Eevee. "Good scheme! I'll dig my scarf out as well," said GRACE. Peaceful Harbor Not far from this point are numerous structures of the same color and texture, homes and shops characterized by red roofs, dulled by the rays of the sun. An imposing building that acted much like a walled fortress stands at the water's edge, a reminder of perhaps some turbulent times. An old pirate ship from such a bygone day sits anchored just offshore as a memory.
While visiting Fantastic Buildings, you met Eevee.
GRACE shook paws with Eevee the Red Feisty Fox. They both received one silver mole!
@ Stone Church "Can I change places with you, GRACE?" asked Jack. "I want to snap the attractions on that side of the river." Jack stood up and the boat rocked alarmingly so he hastily sat down again! Stone Church Shortly beyond this community lies a cul-de-sac of crystal blue water with an old simple church sitting on a knoll. This structure was built from a variety of different shapes and colors of strong rocks. It is sure to stand the test of time under brilliant blue skies. It causes you to smile as you think of all those who have found a place of peace along their journey here just as you have.
While visiting Fantastic Buildings, you met Jack.
GRACE shook paws with Jack the Blue Beautiful Unicorn. They both received one silver mole!
@ White Pearl Odyssey was distracted by the sounds of loud rustling as GRACE unfolded a very large tourist map, in the course of which she succeeded in knocking Odyssey’s hat off. “Put that away, do!” snapped Odyssey. “We’re about to pose on either side of this amazing scene—the picture will be of your map if you don’t fold it up pronto!” White Pearl As you near the end of this day's journey, you are surprised to encounter a "white pearl" of a place for travelers, It stands out from many of the more antiquated structures that you've seen with its multi-levels and unique rooms with patios overlooking the waters.
While visiting Fantastic Buildings, you met Odyssey.
GRACE shook paws with Odyssey the Blushing Koala. They both received one silver mole!
@ Lighthouse at Twilight "I want this river trip never to end, GRACE! It's all so great!" GRACE took a more prosaic view. "Even if we were on the Nile, we'd come to the end of its 4000 miles eventually." "Ooh, not the Nile, think of all those huge crocodiles! This is a nice, friendly river." Lighthouse at Twilight Your final night's rest before returning home is in the base of a lighthouse situated on a small hill. Its height raises a light for all who are journeying and are looking for a welcoming place to stay. The breaking of the water at the hill's edge puts you at ease, and eventually to sleep as your final day of traveling awaits on the morrow.
While visiting Fantastic Buildings, you met Merry Christmas.
GRACE shook paws with Merry Christmas the Pearl White Peacock. They both received one silver mole!
@ Misty Morning “So what do you reckon, GRACE, one of these red houses or one of these brown houses?” asked Minerva. "Oh, you can't beat a solid little grey stone house, Minerva!" Misty Morning The last day of your river excursion is here! After a good night's sleep, you awaken early to get a jump on the day and find a quiet mist hovering over the river. As you head further upriver, you look back not only at the lighthouse where you stayed, but at the twin hill on the left where a quiet little village rests.
While visiting Fantastic Buildings, you met Minerva.
GRACE shook paws with Minerva the Brown Owl. They both received one silver mole!
@ Rest Area GRACE was very happy to meet Népomucène Bibliophilus here! They shook paws and both swapped tales of their experiences of their travels so far! Rest Area Further upriver is a tributary that passes under a bridge, making another cul-de-sac for would-be explorers on a journey much like yours, not to mention the waterfowl that would find such water and shores to be a sanctuary from their travels too.
While visiting Fantastic Buildings, you met Népomucène Bibliophilus.
GRACE shook paws with Népomucène Bibliophilus the Brown Owl. They both received one silver mole!
Népomucène Bibliophilus and you found 5 Travel Tokens!
@ Home “So what do you reckon, GRACE, one of these red houses or one of these brown houses?” asked Rianna. "Oh, you can't beat a solid little grey stone house, Rianna!" Home You arrive home just at sunset. While not as fantastic looking as some of the places you encountered, with its simple stony path, and old, weathered fencing, overlooking the river and lands that invited you onto this adventure to begin with, you are glad to call this place "home."
While visiting Fantastic Buildings, you met Rianna.
GRACE shook paws with Rianna the Bashful Badger. They both received one silver mole!
@ Sweet Dreams GRACE is considering the merits of another Fantastic Building when Saphira comes along. "Wow! That completes the set!" says Saphira. GRACE is amazed to have collected all three items! Glory of Autumn Treeline 1 One of the joys of an autumn drive in the country is seeing the pastoral beauty of the rows of gloriously hued roadside trees enveloping you in their magnificence and refreshing your soul. Sweet Dreams While you are now home and are glad to have gone "there and back again" as one of your most likable heroes in one of your favorite books expresses, you can always have sweet, relaxing, peaceful dreams of the places you went. Where are you in your dreams tonight?
While visiting Fantastic Buildings, you met Saphira.
GRACE shook paws with Saphira the Midnight Happy Dragon. They both received one silver mole!
@ Beck GRACE has seen enough buildings to plan her own town, and is tired out. Twiggy agrees it is time to go home and discuss which building they would most like to live in! Beck For this leg of the travel game, the pets embark on a river trip past many beautiful buildings. They will need to wrap up warmly before arriving at the cold, snowy region before the boat continues over open water and past a sturdy old lighthouse before reaching the next landing stage, where the climate is much warmer! They will stretch their legs or wings by crossing the bridge back to their starting point. GRACE has completed the quest! Please select another pet as visitor, so it can take part in "Fantastic Buildings"!
