Hanging out with the Canadians at the Hard Rock Cafe.




Hi again..Its me Flat Stanley. I just returned from a trip with my travel companion. We made a quick turn in Jackson, Mississippi. We didn't have time to take a picture, so maybe next time. A quick turn is what the airlines call a trip to a city and then turn the aircraft around to take more passengers to another city. They land, park, take people off the airplane, clean, cater and fuel the airplane, put more passengers on and fly to another city. All of this takes place in about 30 minutes. We flew back to Atlanta and then headed to the frigid Arctic, Montreal, Canada....It was so cold. There was even snow on the ground. The wind was blowing very hard. Even though the weather was not that great, it was a beautiful day to go flying. My travel companion flew the CRJ700 from Atlanta to Montreal. It is really amazing to see the world from the front of the airplane. Instead of looking out the passenger window, I get to see straight ahead. We flew to Canada at 37,000 ft. That is over 6 miles up in the sky. Anyway, while I was in Montreal, Canada I was able to go with my travel companion and his flight crew to the Hard Rock Cafe. We were jammin to 80's music and ate some really good food. I was able to get my picture taken at the Hard Rock. I hope you like them. I really enjoyed Montreal. I had a really difficult time understanding the Canadians. They speak French there. Bonjour they would say, I found out that Bonjour means Hello in French. Did you know that? Also, I learned how to say "Have a nice trip" in French. If you will look at one of the pictures, you will see me next to a sign at the Montreal Airport. That is the sign the passengers see before they get on the airplane to leave Canada. It says " Bon Voyage"... Since Canada is a foreign country, we had to go through US Customs. Customs is where they check to make sure you are a US citizen. I secretly traveled through Customs in my cooler home. I didn't want to get stuck at the border, you see I don't have a US Passport. You have to have one to go in and out of countries around the world. I hope you are enjoying my travel adventures and pictures. I'll keep you posted.......Hi Erin, I'm having a great time. Tell your classmates about my travels and give them the web sight address http://EWFlatStanley.bolgspot.com so they can follow me too. I'll keep posting as much as I can. Take care.
