My niece Briana sent me the Flat Stanley to enjoy some time in North Carolina. Here is Flat Stanley enjoying some time at the Womac Army Medical Center Labor and Delivery floor here at Fort Bragg. He is scheduled to get some Army time this week.

Flat Stanely in Washington DC
I got to go on another trip with Emily's Uncle Bill, we were lucky that we got to fly to our Nation's Capital in Washington DC. We visited then famous Smithsonian Museums and got to see a lot of the city.
I got a picture of the Washington Monument and 2 of our famous buildings. The FBI building and the Internal Revenue Service Building.

Flat Stanley in China and Japan
Dear Class,
I went to China, with Emily's Uncle Bill; it was quite an exciting trip. We stated out in Dallas, Texas and flew to Chicago, Illinois. We got on another plane and flew 13 house from Chicago to Shanghai, China. It was a very long plane trip and I was very tired when we arrived. Shanghai is the largest city in China, 20 million people live there.
We stayed in Shanghai for 5 days before going to Suzhou, China for 2 days. Suzhou is an important center for China's silk industry. The city was built in 514 BC the city has many hotels and beautiful gardens. They have great hotels with lots of good food. When night falls the city is quiet and peaceful.
Suzhou is 3 hours north of Shanghai by plane. It was really nicer and not as much pollution. The food had been different from ours but good.
Our next town to visit was Beijing, while we were there we met a Chinese girl whose name was Emily She. I guess her family liked the American name of Emily.
We go to go to the Great Wall of China, it was amazing. The wall is approximately 4000 miles long. The wall was built in the 7th century when China was still divided into many states. In the fall the mountains are blanketed by colors, creating an amazing view. This could be the best season to visit.
When our trip to China was over we flew to Japan. We had dinner at a beautiful place outside the airport in Japan and they let me play the piano. The Gardens are very beautiful in Japan. Our layover in Japan was short only about 6 hours.
We left Japan at 6:00 pm on Friday and arrived in Dallas at 3:00 pm on Friday. We arrived 3 hours before we left.
Love, Flat Stanely
