A message from Stanley:
Hey there, Ms. Natasha and 4A class!
I am finishing my visit to Detroit, Michigan. After a very long journey from our classroom in Nablus, I found myself on the streets of Detroit. Once here I met my very good friend John. John said he'd be my host while I visited Detroit. John asked if I had ever been to Detroit, MI before. I told him this was my first visit to Detroit, and the United States "America" as well. At that moment John decided to take me on a great adventure in the city he calls home.
After such a long journey I was very hungry. John suggested we have his favorite food: sandwiches. Oh boy, we had a lot of sandwiches. We finished them all. I was very, very hungry after my long trip. We then went to see a great monument in Detroit, John's favorite, The Spirit of Detroit. We could see the incredible Renaissance Center, across the street from the Spirit of Detroit. The Renaissance Center is Detroit's tallest building and is home to the corporate office of auto manufacture General Motors. Afterward we went to see the fountain on Belle Isle. Belle Isle is an island park in the Detroit River. We then went to a special spot in the park where you can see two countries separated by the Detroit River. Detroit is across the river from Windsor, Ontario in Canada. To get around the city, John made sure I had a jacket (Ziploc bag). It was cold and windy sometimes. John also made sure I had a quarter (coin) to ride the bus (which also helped me from flying away in the wind) around the city.
The best fun was yet to come. After the food and visiting the awesome sights, John took me to see a Baseball Game. Baseball is "America's Greatest Past Time." Everybody loves baseball here. Detroit's team, The Detroit Tigers, played the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Detroit Tigers won the game. It was a really great time. I got to meet John's friends and they were wonderful.
My time in Detroit has been great. I am now off to my next adventure: Egypt!
