Will's Flat Stanley Goes to Spain, Scotland and France!

WOW!  Will's Flat Stanley has become quite the world traveler!  
Flat Stanley went to Seville, Spain!  Here you can see many traditions and two important monuments, the Cathedral and Torre De Oro. 

 
This is the Plaza De Espana-the Spanish Plaza.  It was built in 1929.  It represents all the Spanish cities.  Each city has a mosaic mural there!  

 This picture was taken outside a famous monument, El Alcazar.  It is a beautiful Moorism (Arab) palace.  This is the entrance way.  It's very beautiful! Flat Stanley loved it!
 Flat Stanley also went to Scotland with Will's friends!  Scotland is one of the four countries that make up the United Kingdom and there are almost 800 islands there!  The capital of Scotland is Edinburgh.  Over 5 million people live in Scotland and the picture above shows a man wearing the traditional dress of Scotland!
 Scotland has a very rich medieval history.  There are many castles throughout Scotland and Flat Stanley loved them! It rains a lot in Scotland so it is very green! There are many mountains and plains.  It is fun to travel through the country and visit many castles!

 Then Flat Stanley traveled to France!!  He went to Bordeaux where there are some beautiful monuments.  It looks like a fairy tale!

 This is the most important monument in Bordeaux!
 This is the Arachon Bay of the southwest coast.  It is a popular vacation destination close to Bordeaux, France.  It is great for bird-watching!!  Flat Stanley saw lots of pretty birds there!
