West Coast Librarian Adventures

After a tour of Chicago with Elizabeth, he stayed in her possession and they headed to California for a week for the American Library Association Conference. He does indeed love his library friends. This was his second ALA, as he went to the conference last summer with Jenny, when it was in New Orleans!

Anaheim, San Diego, and beyond was a good mix of ALA time and fun time. Thanks, E for being a good hostess to our little green friend, and for keeping him safe from killer penguins and killer jellyfish. Here we go:

 

Mr. Pickle met a penguin at ALA. Perhaps it's the Penguin Books penguin? 

 

Pickle @ Your Library

 

Conference swag featured a Wookie cookie. Say whuh? 

You must be at least this tall to ride this ride. Sad to say, Mr. P was not tall enough. He probably would have gotten sick on the roller coaster anyway. 

Which way to Disney Land?? 

 This pickle loves his BBQ. Here he met some pickle friends while chowing on Korean BBQ at Jeong Won, just North of San Diego.

Tiki time! Mr. P is dressed for the night. 

Awww, they're both making the same face!

Mr. P is still tiki-ing, and jumped into the art. Let's call this performance art. 

 Mr. Pickle and his new bendy friends. They told him to "get bent" and he told them he couldn't and they accepted him anyway.


Time to relax on the shore of Imperial Beach in San Diego.

Mr. P met a JELLYFISH! He was skeptical, and concerned, and alarmed, and very excited.

 Mr. Pickle was announced God of the Crabs at the beach!

Spirit of Imperial Beach! Pickle in hand, ready to make you swoon. (Or just teach you to surf.)

Mr. P is headed to Spain next. But he's got the rest of summer open to travel with you. Would you like him to join you? Let me know!
