So I picked up a travel bug the other day when Geocaching. For you non-geocaching types, a travel bug is a dog tag with a unique serial number that is attached to...something. In this case, a little stuffed lion. The 'bug' as it is called, gets transferred from cache to cache and people log the visits online. Some bugs have goals, others just want to hop along so the owners can see where it goes.
The bug I picked up has a goal. His name is Leo der Löwe, he hails from Germany. As far as I can tell he comes from a school just off the L106. At least that's what Google tells me. Apparently some 2nd graders put him in a cache and asked that people send postcards back. What a great idea!
He has a little tag that reads:
"Hallo! Mein Name ist Leo. Ich bin das Maskottchen der Klass 2a aus Appen und mochte auf Reisen gehen. Wenn ihr Lust habt, konnt ihr ja eine Karte an meine Klasse schicken, damit die wissen, wo ich gerade bin und was ich so erlebe. Ich freue mich auf alle Abenteuer."
As far as I can tell, it translates to:
Hi! My name is Leo. I am the mascot of class 2a (2nd grade)from a town called Appen and have gone on/want to go on a journey. If you want, can you send me a ?postcard/map? of where I have been/what I have experienced? I look forward to adventures.
Of course I don't speak fluent German, I'm just trying to piece together literal translations that make some sense. Basically the class would like a postcard to chronicle where Leo has been, and they would love to hear from him.
