digit Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Hah! This is the closest we've been to Sara since her journey started. We are in the Chicago area as well visiting family for the first time since the pandemic began. We might make it into the city as well to see some of the museums that I frequented every Sunday as a kid. Looking forward to seeing what Sara gets up to during her stay. Cheers. -Ken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Praefectus Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Last week, Sara visited the Dinosaur Discovery Museum in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Below are some pictures from her trip. Sorry that some of the images are blurry. My camera was having a bad day. Sara comes face to face with T. rex Ceratosaurus and the Ceratopsian. The Cera-tosaurs meet up! Suchomimus says hi to Sara. Sara and Al This big Triceratops bone is much bigger than Sara. Maybe one day Sara will grow this big. Sara with more ceratopsian bones! What big eyes you have! Sara meets a new friend. This wraps up Sara's trip to the museum. Some pictures of her poking around in my collection are coming soon (as soon as I manage to clean my room up a bit ). 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludwigia Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 I'll bet that Sara was impressed. I certainly am. I'm assuming those skeletons are replicas? 1 Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably. As I understand it, any mounted dinosaur skull is a replica by definition, due to the weight of the actual mineralised specimen. Even so, such high end replicas are rare in their own right...

Tidgy's Dad Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 I disagree. Looks a pretty sociable sort of chap to me. And, frankly, if he had wanted to eat Sara, who could have stopped him? 2 2 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snolly50 Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 You are all mistaken as to the action in the photo above. Sara is simply getting ready to toss a tasty, 3 foot garfish to her gape mouthed friend! A little treat for a light lunch. 4 Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, also are remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so. - Douglas Adams, Last Chance to See Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Praefectus Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Sara has been doing some exploring lately. She took a field trip through some of my shelves and had fun walking among the fossils. Sara climbs the water bug. She sees strange fossils from a long ago time. Sara got to meet some new friends... and some strange dinosaurs. It has been great having Sara over for a visit, but I fear my time with her has come to an end. I am contacting the next participant and I'll provide an update on where Sara is headed next once I receive confirmation that they can host her. It will be exciting to see where Sara's adventure takes her next. 1 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Praefectus Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Sara will be visiting @Dimitris next. He warns me that shipping from USA to Europe is slow right now so it might be a while before we hear about her next update. Regardless, it is exciting to hear she will be on her way again soon. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, Sara will spend quite some time in the customs, while her foster family will try to explain that this temporary adoption does not include some money! Wish she would arrive earlier so that I could get her with me on my 3rd excursion in the island of Kythera. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
