My travelcompanion Lexi (pic heavy) - update 2 june - Castle Haarzuilen

I second Stryker.

Great new pics!

Looks like Lexi is ready to roll once again!

Apparantly I forgot to answer the replies   Thank you all!

Yes. I'm very happy I found a replacement body for her in the right color
The skates are a bit of a disappointment though. They're very loose

For her guided tours Lexi got a proper uniform

It's actually a stewardessuniform, but hostesses wear similar uniforms.

There were still some pictures in my backlog. Christmas 2020, Lexi is the star:


At the same christmas Allison and Lexi swapped gifts:















They wore the dresses earlier in this thread.

Wait... they regifted old presents? Just kidding. Glad to see Lexi in this very appropriate uniform. And she does dress well for a holiday party.

I like Lexi's tour guide uniform, and I hope she will be able to share more travel adventures with us soon!

The new outfit looks really nice. Nice to see they had a good Christmas.

She wears that black dress beautifully! But that uniform looks great, too! I bet the black dress only steals the show because she is standing up. Then again... it's a little black ones. They tend to steal the show.

Tnx all! I haven't taken many pics last year, but I hope to do more this year.

Lexi went fishing.



Just one pic. It was a bit windy and she was not exactly standing stabile.

Very cute photo. Love the hat.

nice pic - glad to read that Lexi was "saved"
such a lovely head.

Nice bright boots! Those will lure in the fish!

Good to see Lexi is back in action!

Perty Heil ! And welcome back, Lexi. We missed You. Great Picture !

I agree, very nice photo, and looks to be in scale. The boots are great, perhaps a notch too fashionable for fishing, but I hope she kept them reasonably clean and dry.

Thank you all. The hat is indeed cool, but maybe I should do something about the strap, but without it it won't stay  on her head. The boots came out fine.
I wonder if anyone spotted Lexi's catch.

I also have some more pics, because we visited the dam where Lexi met Keira (as described here. This time without Keira because it was a last minute decision to go there.

I'd be nervous letting Lexi sit on a dam railing like that. What if there is a sudden gust of wind? But the results are undeniably sweet.

Lexi at the Rhine.

I'm glad she prudently kept from advancing too close to the shore. Vikings were known to sail up the Rhine.

Lexi is lookin' fine on the banks of the Rhine!

Is Europe largely open for travel at this point?

The Rhine flows through the Netherlands.

Thanks guys

It does, but this is in Germany, near Cologne.
AFAIK there are no travellimitations within the EU.

Lexi is looking Great!

Awww, she's looking great! Beautiful photos! I especially like the one from the back. Very atmospheric.

Thanks

Some more pics of her. This time on top of The Iron Man which isn't as interesting as it sounds. Apparantly The Iron Man is a large iron T-shaped bar from the middle ages. Its original source is unclear. It is first mentioned as a bordermarker in 1625 between the German towns Alfter and Heimersheim. It's about 2m18 tall, but half of it (including the T) is in the ground.

I'm glad she has an appreciation for local history.

Yes, she does. She's got a new job as a tourguide at castle Haarzuilens, and after work today she took a few pics.
















(Actually Valiardes' pics of Arwen at Schloss Augustusberg inspired me to finally take some pics here this evening. It was already closed though, but that had the benefit there were virtually no tourists).

It would have been considerably harder to keep the illusion of scale if you had gone inside. So these work very nicely.

I do appreciate castle photos, nice shots!
