Tanner and Gavin were very excited that Flat Stanley flew from Oklahoma all the way to the Kingdom of Bahrain. He is our first guest to visit from the United States! We quickly packed the car and set off on a whirlwind adventure driving Flat Stanley all over our new country.
We hope you have as much fun "touring the island" as Flat Stanley did, ENJOY!
MARHABA! (welcome) This is a map of the Kingdom of Bahrain.
Flat Stanley could not believe that there are camels in Bahrain!
He asked if he could ride one of the camels but the owner said they were getting ready to eat their lunch, maybe next visit!
We were hungry so we decided to eat a local favorite meal called schwarma at Leabnese Oven.
Tanner and I enjoyed looking at the pictures of all the interesting foods on the menu.
This is Mr. Abdul, he is a friend of the Flusche family.

It's so much fun to play atop a tall pile of carpets!
Flat Stanley purchased this beautiful carpet! I wonder if it's a MAGIC carpet, what do you think?
