Boat #154, China

This is Not a Boat #14, A Bonus Celebration Day for Amos McGee

Well, this week we've been celebrating Amos's pick as a New York Times Best Illustrated Book of 2010. We've celebrated in elephants, in tortoises, in penguins, in rhinoceroses, and in owls. That was supposed to be it. But the public has demanded more. So today we celebrate in busses. We begin with the whole gang waiting for the #5 bus to Amos's house. This picutre is especially poignant to me as I've spent a lot of time lately waiting for the bus (Erin and I have been carless since August).

Next, to Finland:

And Hungary:
Romania:
China:
And finally, here comes the #5. Next stop, Amos's house!

Boat #237, China - Lighthouse Week

Like yesterday, today's lighthouses don't include any boats. So first, let's get boat #237 out of the way...

And now, to close out the week, a really nice, colorful set depicting the lighthouses of China...

Boat #267, China

Not only does this stamp come with a handsome cancellation, it also features a bonus train, plane, and truck. What a deal!

Boat #324, China

Boat #350, China

This boat has traveled a long way and a long time—90 years—to end up here at 365 Boats. It's kind of amazing that a little scrap of paper can have such a long and interesting life. Inspiring.
