A lone sign in Whidbey Island, Washington State, forest points to the local beach. It turned out to be several hundred meters down the thick woods and brush (scroll to some of the earlier photos in the stream for how it looked like).

Hello Flickr. Meet Joca. He has the most perfect job in the world. He is a teddy bear. He takes his life easy, without stress. Most of the day he sleeps. If he is not sleeping, he is looking out of the window at some pretty neighbor girl. He also travels the world. He was born in Germany, then used to live in Serbia, but wanted to discover something more, to do crazy things in his life. So, he went to pursue the American dream in the States - the state of Tennessee, to be precise. There he met the ghost of Elvis and enjoyed some good country music. Elvis told him that you can't spend your whole life partying, so Joca decided he should get more serious. He applied for a degree in Teddy Bear Studies on the famous Yale University. Being a well known teddy bear, he promptly got accepted. Alas, he tired of dull academic life very fast and decided that is not for him after all. He continued on exploring the world. He traveled back across the Atlantic. To a small country called Ireland, where people enjoy laid back life and also drink a lot of Guinness. He likes it here for now, but who knows? Knowing the spirit of this brave teddy bear, his next adventure lies just around the corner...
