Flat Stanley in Ireland

Well, Flat Stanley was busy on his trip and then, more recently, he was having technical difficulties.  In other words - the computer hasn't been wanting to load pictures.

But, here he is in Ireland...
They say Ireland is a country of green - full of every imaginable green.
Even the buses are green!


Do you see the green stripe on the Irish flag?

Flat Stanley goes to Italy

This is the Italian flag.

The yellow part of this map is the country of Italy.  Some people say it is shaped like a boot.  Do you think it looks like a boot?

Flat Stanley liked visiting the Alps (mountains) in Italy.  They are in the same group of mountains that he saw in Switzerland and Austria as well.  
Jonah's favorite thing in Lana were the tractor toys where we stayed.
This is Flat Stanley in Bologna, Italy.  It was a nice city to visit.  Do you see the arch behind Flat Stanley?

On to Austria

Flat stanley left Switzerland and arrived in Austria.  There are a lot of mountains in Austria, just like switzerland.  It is very beautiful.

This is an Austrian train.  Flat Stanley and Jonah love train rides and have been taking a lot of them.

This is Flat Stanley in Innsbruck, Austria where we spent the night.
Innsbruck is famous for it's golden roof in the square.  Jim thought this picture of the golden arches in front of the golden roof was funny.  Do you see the orange truck too?

Here is a video from switzerland.  Can you hear the cow bells?  Can you see the mountains?  Do you see the valley?

On Lake Geneva

Flat Stanley took a ride across Lake Geneva.  Can you see the big fountain behind Flat Stanley?

Flat Stanley is much more cooperative than Jonah when it comes to taking pictures.  But, we all enjoyed a ride across the lake.
