MA and NYC
By SuziQ
After the trip from North Carolina, Frodo arrives in the state the locals call TAXachusetts, and stretches his legs in ’s front yard.

Poor Frodo, takes him to a picnic, but she and ecurbh are having a great laugh at his expense. “Why does everyone want to do this when they take my picture?”

Frodo goes on a trip with the Girl Scouts! He’s in the great city of New York, where a horrendous attack took place a couple of years ago. He visits the Fire Company that lost the most men on that terrible day. They let him climb up onto their truck!

He stays at a very nice Inn called the Hilton…

and he sees some interesting sights … “Frodo, come and meet those dancing feet, on the Avenue I’m taking you to, 42nd St.”

Look, Frodo, lembas!

There are many strange things along this street, like a wax man in a sparkly skirt…

and ‘fell beasts’.

He also finds a familiar face, though in a swarthy guise.

Before we leave the city, Frodo has a nice Hobbit-sized breakfast

Then he goes to a wild place called The Bronx Zoo. There are oliphaunts! “I wish Sam were with me”

You must be careful Frodo, there are fell beasts here as well! Grizzly Bears!

And Wargs!

Fortunately, Gwaihir is nearby to fly Frodo away from the danger!

A few days later, Frodo took a trip to the Shire! New HampSHIRE, that is. It reminded him of Ithilien with the deep glades

and waterfalls

These look like the Misty Mountains, Frodo!

Look out Frodo, Sting is glowing, there must be Orcs in those mountains!

Frodo was able to watch the fireworks that celebrate our country’s independence,

then he was off to visit MyBackYard in Texas!
