Flat Stella visits Kelowna, B.C.

I have a good friend.  Her name is Elizabeth. We meet at the rehab pool.

Yesterday at the pool Elizabeth told me that her little great granddaughter had sent her a package of her school project for her to help with.
 "Do you know who Flat Stella is?" she asked me.
" I know who Flat Stanley is, but never heard of Flat Stella," I answered.

It turned out that if the student was a girl she mailed out a Flat Stella and if the student was a boy he mailed out a Flat Stanley to a friend or family member who lived in another Canadian city.
These children are from Medicine Hat, Alberta.
Don't they have a fun teacher?

Well, Great Grama was very interested in this project and we had fun talking about Flat Stella during the rest of our pool time.

When she was about to leave the changing room, I said that if she wanted me to come with her to get some pictures of Kelowna I would be happy to.

We talked on the phone later and decided to go out this afternoon and show Flat Stella around.
Flat Stella went up to Kelowna Mountain but it was not open yet so she could only peek at the bridges and chairlift towers and view all the burnt trees in the area.

Looking down to the lake and the city. 

There are the columns the opposite direction.

We made a stop at another location and took a few pictures with a view of the lake.
Then we went downtown and to the dolphins, a fun Kelowna landmark.
Flat Stella did not wear a seat belt but behaved very nicely as we drove along the streets and roads in the late afternoon.

See Flat Stella? 

Flat Stella is learning about the world, or at least one place on the earth. 

By the time we got to the dolpins downtown it was starting to get windy and also close to supper time so we decided it was time to take Flat Stella home.

It was so nice to meet her.  Wonder when she will get mailed back to her home city?
Great Grama will write up the story of her visit and send her back so she can go to school and share her travel story.

The other side of Flat Stella was done just as nicely as the front was.  So glad I got to meet her.
