Charleston,+SC

Flat Stanley Tours Charleston, South Carolina Theresa and her colleagues Dr. Grace (from Maine) and Ms. Ewing Taylor (from Nevada) took a break from attending sessions and went into Charleston. You saw the ocean, many old plantation homes, cobblestone streets, ships, and tourists. After all that walking around, the four of you went to a restaurant on the top of a hotel near the port. As Theresa took your picture at the US Customs House, our waitress came to see what we wanted to order from dinner. She spotted you and got all excited because she knows you from your book! She asked if she could have her photo taken with you to send to her mom who reads your books outloud to her students. Her mom lives in Illinois. It was very fun for us to travel with such a celebrity. The waitress told a funny story. The cook at this restaurant loves to squish his hamburger patties a lot when he's cooking them. She thinks they look hysterical that way and one day when a customer ordered a hamburger, she went to the kitchen and ordered a "Flat Stanley". She had just nicknamed his hamburgers after you. But the cook didn't know who you were so she had to explain about your book. After we took her picture with you, she invited you back into the kitchen so the cook could meet you. He told her he had always thought she was making up the name Flat Stanley but now that he had met Flat Stanley from Texas who had visited Maine and was now visiting South Carolina, he had to believe her. Here you are at the Charleston airport looking to see if you might know anyone on the flight to Dallas. You flew home to Maine with Theresa and Grace. Then you returned to Dallas via U. S. Mail the way you started your journey to Maine.
