Flat Stanley goes on a guilt trip!

Here's the story of a young man named Flat Stanley who likes to see the world. His job is to travel around to help children discover different places and cities around the globe. So I showed him around Milan and Berlin and sent the pics to his creator, my little cousin Sabrina, so she could show and tell her second grade class about Flat Stanley's adventures! :)

Flat Stanley on the way to Berlin from Milan:



Whoops! Too much turbulence (and bad airplane food!)


Stan in front of the Germany Reichstag (German Parliament) and in front of a famous DDR Trabi here. The original maker of this typical East German communist car is Volkswagen ("people's car") aka VW.


The Victory Column, with angel Victoria protecting her city from atop.


Brandenburg Gate. This is the main symbol of Berlin (along with the Victory Column, they are on the same street.) Napoleon liked the chariot, called the Quadriga, on top of the gate so much that in 1806 he stole it! He brought it to Paris but then the Germans stole it back around 1814.


At the Holocaust Memorial.


Flat Stanley's awesome tour guides! :)


Checkpoint Charlie, or where all the different sectors of post-WWII Berlin met.

Milan:


Duomo!


At the Prada shop in the Galleria, where Stan got a new suit.


The Scala Theatre. Stanley is a huge fan of classical music, as are his learned tour guides.


Paying homage to Leonardo Da Vinci. Stanley says he looks just like that guy Leonardo drew way back when. Right?


Sforzesco Castle.


In Legnano, in front of one of the first octagonal churches ever built!


Say a lil prayer for you!
