Dear Gabriel,
Thank you very much for sending Flat Stanley all the way to London by air mail! We are very excited to have him as a guest with us. I hope he likes it here! I also hope you like the photos of his travels.
Your primo Owen was very excited to meet Flat Stanley and take photos with him. Owen is 5 years old and in Year 1 (or kindergarten) here in London. Owen took this photo of himself with me and Flat Stanley:
I took this photo of Owen holding Flat Stanley in front of our house:
Today we went to Central London (or 'downtown'). We took Flat Stanley with us! Here he is riding the train with your Tio Oliver:
And here he is with Owen and your little prima Marisol. Marisol is 2 years old! They are looking out the window at houses in South London, which is below the River Thames:
Flat Stanley checked the map for us. We were going the right way!
Flat Stanley also looked out the window and listened for our stop. They announced: "Queen's Road, Peckham Rye"!
When we were walking through London, we walked past 221b Baker Street -- Sherlock Holmes's address! It's a museum now. Do you know who Sherlock Holmes is?
That's all for now, Gabriel! Keep checking this blog for new photos! And feel free to leave comments and questions on the blog. Your classmates can too! Flat Stanley and I will answer your questions soon!
Much love to you and your family!
Tia Effie
