After coming home from my C1 German class, I was surprised to open my postbox and find a letter from my little cousin Adam. I wasn't surprised necessarily about the letter (because I was expecting it) but rather that it was already here. When I opened the letter - I found Flat Stanley waiting. :)
For those of you who don't know, Flat Stanley is a little boy who was flattened by his "Pinwand" or Bulletin Board when it fell on top of him. He wanted to visit some friends in California so his parents mailed him there because it was less expensive than flying.
I'm really not sure how long Flat Stanley is going to camp out at our place but we're very excited to have him as a guest in our home and hope to take him to see lots of sights here in the "Dreiländereck" or the "Three Country Corner" where Germany, Switzerland and France meet up.
If you want to read more about the area where Flat Stanley is staying during his visit, you can go to the following links:

Greetings from Weil am Rhein, Germany,
Jamie, Andi, Dickens & Stanley
