My mother has contributed substantially to my trip. She helped me pack and organize, she helped get supplies, she was even the first person to post a comment on my website. Well she also bought the first accessory for my Teddy Bear. At my birthday party, one of the gifts she gave me was a pair of child-sized sunglasses, for Teddy.

They were a perfect fit!

Teddy used to be ‘kind of’ cool… But now he is totally cool!

Now all Teddy needs is better name. I would like to hear people’s suggestions for names for the Bear. So far the list of possible names includes: Dare Bear, Ernesto, The Tempest, Kobe Bryant… Cast your vote and offer suggestions by leaving comments under this post.
