Introducing Alice, Cheng Ho, Gulliver, and Ponce de Leon

I've made four new bears to add to the project and three bears got their start recently thanks to my friends and family.- GeoBear #4: Cheng Ho: My roommate's friend is taking a trip to China this month with his wife and they are nice enough to take a bear with them.
- GeoBear #5: Ponce de Leon: His ride fell through so now he's hanging out in my closet. Any takers?- GeoBear #6: Alice: My college friend is taking a trip north to Kootney lakes and then to Edmonton. She asked if I could make her a bear to take (of course!) so I made Alice to go with her. She then plans to give Alice to some Canadian friends.
- GeoBear #7: Gulliver: My boyfriend's parents travel to watch his sister play volleyball and they are going to take a bear with them to see cool things and later pass him on when the season ends and they come home.

Before I gave Gulliver to my boyfriend's family I took him with us to their grandmother's birthday/reunion celebration in San Francisco, CA. There he saw the weekend market, went to the Giants v Mets game at AT&T Park and saw the Golden Gate Bridge. The pictures are below. Thanks for

tuning in!

Geo Bear Project

When I was a kid my mom bought me a book called Earth Search and one of the ideas presented there was the Geo Bears. Originally a project for kids in school, the idea was that you take a bear and send it out into the world with travelers who take it to their destination and pass it on. This way the bear travels the world. At each new destination the people hopefully send you a postcard by mail or maybe pictures.

I always wanted to do this project and tried several time to get a bear out. Now that I graduated I found the book and a few cute bears that I've saved over the years for this purpose. I've decided to send my bears out into the world and to keep this blog about their travels, learn about the world, meet people, and find others who might be traveling outside the state or country who can take a bear with them.

Any type of participation would be fun and I encourage you to contribute or get involved.
