Maine, United States of America

  A trip to Maine in October:     This is Portland Head Light House, it's a working light house, so you can not climb to the top. We did visit the museum and learn the history.

WAR HORSE is Coming to Academy of Music in Philadelphia this November!

WAR HORSE is Coming to   Academy of Music   Tuesday, November 20 through Sunday December 2, 2012   It's a great show especially for kids 11 and older!     A remarkable tale of courage, loyalty and friendship. England, 1914. As World War One begins, Joey, young Albert's beloved horse, is sold to the cavalry and shipped from England to France. He's soon caught up in enemy fire, and fate takes him on an extraordinary journey, serving on both sides before finding himself alone in no man's land. But Albert cannot forget Joey and, still not old enough to enlist, he embarks on a treacherous mission to find him and bring him home. This powerfully moving and imaginative drama, filled with stirring music and songs, is a show of phenomenal inventiveness. At it's heart are astonishing life-sized puppets created by South Africa's Handspring Puppet Company, who bring breathing, galloping, charging horses to life on the stage   For more information go to Kimmel Center Bro...
