While in town Flat Sophie saw her friend Flat Stanley! They met at the glacier
Here is downtown Juneau from across the Gastineau Channel.
The Mendenhall Glacier from a different side
While visiting the glacier, there was a man playing either a
native flute or a nose flute. It was melodic and
a little magical and VERY peaceful.
It was like he was calling to the spirits of the mountains and nature!
Flat Sophie and the glacier
Flat Sophie at the bell that was wrung when Alaska became a state!
Last year at the 50 year celebration the same man who wrung
the bell when he was a boy, rang the bell again!
Sophie and the legislative building. They were in session as well.
I was hoping for a picture of a senator or something! But no luck!
I sure hope Flat Sophie had fun! I did! It was a beautiful day in Juneau as well! For those of you who don't know, Flat Sophie is the cousin of "Flat Stanley." Flat Stanley is a book about a boy who gets flattened and realizes that he can fit inside of an envelope and be shipped and have LOTS of adventures! Flat Sophie was joined by lots of her friends in a first grade class in California, where they shared their adventures with each other as well as the students in the classroom. Thanks Stacy and Caylyn for allowing me this opportunity! :o)
