Flat Stanley has landed in Seville, Spain! Stanley's friend Mary Alice wrote us this very kind note and will be sending pictures along shortly:
Hello! Flat Stanley will be coming back to Maine soon, but has had quite an adventure! At the end of March I was off to
Scotland,
so I decided to take Stanley along. Then my daughter, an 8th grader, had a trip to France. I got Stanley all ready and what do you know, he just got back from Bordeaux, France!
So
when he arrives back in Maine, he will have a nice set of post cards
to share, and a card from Paige Butler, my friend in California who sent
me
Stanley in the first place.
So for the record he has been to:
Seville, Spain
Seville is located in Southern Spain. It is the 4th
largest city and home to almost a million people. It is a bustling
city that is known
for flamenco dancing, bull-fighting and delicious food. One of the
favorite ways to eat is tapas, small portions of food. You can go out
and order 3-4 different things with your friends.
Edinburgh and Inverness (Loch Ness area), Scotland
Edinburgh
is the capital of Scotland and the second largest city. In this city
is the Elephant Café famous because JK Rowling was inspired to write
much of the early Harry Potter novels there. Stanley also visited Loch
Ness, famous for the Loch Ness Monster.
Bordeaux, France
Bordeaux is located in Southwest France. About 250,000 people live in Bordeaux. It is most famous for its wine.
Have a good rest of the school year. I am sure it will be fun to see where each Stanley has been!
Warmly,
Mary Alice
