Postcards from Austria and Germany


This is from Tanja in Austria.  She has the most beautiful handwriting I've seen on a postcard and reports that her favorite book is The Hearing Trumpet by Lenora Carrington.


Here is a beautiful postcard from Germany, sent on the day after my birthday, which Hans was kind to note.  Hans worked on a ship and has visited many parts of the US.

I was curious to see how many postcards I have received from Germany because it seems like a lot, so I checked my stats.  Yep.  A lot of postcards from Germany. Double the next two highest numbers.

  2. Both of those cards are really beautiful! Especially the one from Germany. Is that Neuschwanstein?

  4. (I have been to this castle and took the tour. It was amazing! I bought a book that shows all the rooms. They were decorated and painted with frescoes depicting various operas of Wagner. It was amazing!)
