Another New Friend in Stamford

Hi everyone:

Here is a picture of me with another new friend I made in Stamford. His name is Josias, and he is very nice. His job is taking care of people who are sick, or old, or not very strong, who need some help getting around. He is very good at helping people, and I am glad that I met him.

Some other memories of my trip

Hi everyone: One of the fun things we did when I was visiting Stamford was going to the Public Library. It was a VERY BIG Library. It had so many books I can't even begin to guess how many. I found out that there are books about me, Flat Stanley, in the library. I was so happy about that. I guess I am famous! Here are a few pictures, one outside the library, and one of me with my own very special book.

More New York Pictures

Hi everyone - I was so happy to be able to come to New York City during my trip to Stamford, CT. It was not to far away (we took the train, and the train ride was less than an hour) but it was very different! The weather is the same, but New York City is a very big and busy city. It is so big that we did not get to see all the interesting things here ( we did not get to see the Statue of Liberty) but we did see lots of the tall buildings, and we saw a Broadway show with lots of nice music, and so many people! We stayed overnight in a hotel, and they had a special welcome sign for American Girl dolls. I thought that was pretty funny, so Cathy took my picture with the sign.

New York City!!

Hi everyone - I am here in New York City and it is very big and very exciting. We took a train to get here, the train ride was a little bit less than one hour. When we got off the train we saw a lot of people and a lot of very tall buildings. But in the middle of New York City there is a gigantic park, called Central Park. It is about 2 1/2 miles long and 1/2 mile wide. And all around the park are very tall buildings. I am tired now, I had a very busy day! I will tell you more tomorrow. But here are 2 pictures - one on the train and the other is me sitting on a bench in Central Park. There are a lot of joggers and bicycle riders in the park, you can see some of them behind me. Love, Stanley

Another exciting day!

Hi everyone: I am going to have a very exciting day today. Rich and Cathy and I are going to take a TRAIN and go into New York City. New York City is a very big city - about 8 MILLION people live there, can you believe that? I wonder how many of them I will meet? There are lots of big buildings, and stores and museums and exciting things to see. I can't wait. I will tell you all about my trip. Love, Stanley

PS Here is a picture of me with two of Cathy's friends, Muffy and Cynthia.

My New Friend Joey

Hi Everyone: Here is a picture of me with my new friend Joey. I met him today and he is very nice. He and his mom were visiting his great-grandfather, who lives in Stamford. He let me play with his silly bandz, do you know what they are? They are like rubber bands but they have silly shapes, like cars and stars and rocket ships. He let me wear some of his silly bands - can you see them on my wrists? Love, Stanley

A Very Old Church

Hi everyone,
Here is a picture of a very old church, it was built in 1834. I know you can hardly see me in this picture, but I wanted you to be able to see more of the church. It is very pretty, and even though it is very old, it looks pretty good! Love, Stanley
