Bull's Flat Stanley's Final Trip with Pictures
















The last city that Bull's Flat Stanley visited was the City of San Antonio, Texas. One of the unique things about San Antonio is that it has a River Walk that runs through downtown and is just beautiful. We took Flat Stanley on a river boat and walking tour.

The guide on our boat tour was happy to pose with Flat Stanley and made him an integral part of the tour. He had a lot of fun with Flat Stanley, who even met people from England and Australia.




While we were touring the river, a lady was walking along the area and when I held Flat Stanley up to take a picture she waved and said, "Hello Flat Stanley, welcome to San Antonio", we thought that was really awesome.






As you can see from these pictures, it is just a beautiful place to visit. We ate lunch at a beautiful outdoor restaurant and Flat Stanley enjoyed listening to Hispanic music played at our table by two wonderful musicians.






Then...it was on to the Alamo. Flat Stanley was very lucky because a Texas Ranger was happy to pose with and welcome him to the Alamo.


The Alamo is beautiful and has several other buildings in the courtyard. There is a Library and the courtyard is filled with beautiful flowers, trees and shrubs. It has been preserved and is a vital piece of Texas history.


Well...as I sign off for the last time, Bull's Flat Stanley wants to tell you how much fun he had, how many places he visited and most importantly how much history he learned about our country. Thank you for the opportunity that we had to take Flat Stanley on all of his adventures.


I love you Bull, and hope you enjoyed reading all about our travels.

  1. Dear Aunt Jan,
    We are wondering how the lady from the riverboat tour, knew who Flat Stanley was. Did Stanley enjoy the riverboat tour? Was the music and food good at your luncheon? Were the people from England and Australia hard to understand? Our teacher is not sure about what war was fought at the Alamo. Can you give us any more information on it? Thank you so much for writing to us on our blog about Flat Stanley's adventures!
    Love,
    Bull and the Class of 2021
