For our niece Justina’s third grade class project, we traveled with Flat Stanley
This is the third post on Flat Stanley’s adventures while he was Traveling with the Jones.
Flat Stanley rides the ferry to Uruguay
The Río de la Plata is a river and estuary between the borders of Argentina and Uruguay. Colonia del Sacramento, one of Uruguay’s oldest European settlements founded by the Portuguese in 1680, is only an hour away from Buenos Aires via the Buquebus high speed ferry. Flat Stanley enjoyed the ride.
Famous for Beef
Uruguay and Argentina are both famous for their grass-fed beef. Flat Stanley and Mr. Jones are about to enjoy a steak lunch in Colonia del Sacramento.
An Upscale Starbucks
Back in Buenos Aires, Flat Stanley enjoys a coffee break in an upscale Starbucks in the trendy Faena Art District.
Catching Up on Email in the United Red Carpet Club
Stanley supervises as Mr. Jones catches up on his emails in the United Red Carpet Club in the Buenos Aires airport. Stanley likes the snacks, comfortable chairs and friendly concierge.
Business Class on TAM Airlines
The Jones are heading home from South America. Their first flight is on TAM Airlines, from Buenos Aires to San Paulo, Brazil. Stanley loves the comfy seats in business class, especially because they were frequent flyer award tickets.
Flat Stanley did not enjoy the San Paulo airport. It was crowded, disorganized and full of angry travelers trying to get through lengthy security lines without missing their flights. Just as the doors of the plane where about to close, Stanley and the Jones made it to their United flight to Chicago. Stanley slept through that flight, and then happy there was only one more flight to go to get back to Kansas City.
Stanley’s Adventures With the Jones are not complete
Although Stanley arrived back in Kansas City from his South America adventures, his travels with the Jones are not yet done.
