Ryan E.'s Stanley in New Jersey!

We hosted Ryan's Flat Stanley for a long weekend. Here are pics from his trip.

Click here for a VERY cool Google Maps mash-up of his trip!!! (if you zoom in far enough, you can see photos of some of the actual streets and buildings from ground level - try the pizza place, for instance...)


Kieran's Stanley Goes International - to India!

Hi

My name is Udayan Sarin and I am Kieran's second cousin. When Stanley visited Kieran's grandmother in Dallas, she sent him all the way to India to visit the extended family here.

We enjoyed having him here and are sending back some images of a few famous places in and around New Delhi.

We went with Stanley to the Qutub Minar, the tallest tower in the world. Then we went to the Lotus Temple. It got its name because of its shape (like the lotus flower). Then we drove about 200 miles to the nearby city of Agra. There we saw the Taj Mahal, one of the largest tombs in the world built by a king for his wife (it's also one of the seven wonders of the world).

An interesting fact about New Delhi is that there are more people in New Delhi than there are in the entire state of Minnesota!
