Remember Flat Stanley? I posted about him earlier, but here's a refresher: a little while ago, my cousin asked me to help out her son with a school project. He would send me a paper doll called Flat Stanley. All I would need to do was take some pictures around town and send him back. It ended up being a lot of fun. Ulises's sister made clothes for him (a mariachi and an indio outfit). We finally got out today to take some pictures. It was a lot of fun. We went to a few of the sights in town but the most important destination was the Casa de Adobe. I plan to write a little about the history when we send Flat Stanley back. But, we changed his name to Jose Plano. Ulises thought we should call him Jose since it is a common hispanic name, and Plano means Flat.

Jose Plano wanted to take a ride, too bad
there was no horse!!!! |
