Two more today!

Today Jack and I received two postcards!

Our first postcard was a private swap from Scotland!
This is a postcard showing many scenes from Aberdeen.  Aberdeen is Scotland's third most populous city and one of Scotland's 32 local government council areas. It has an official population estimate of 210,400.
Pictured are 'His Majesty's Theatre', 'St. Machar's Cathedral', 'Union Street', 'The Mercat Cross and Citadel', and  'Duthie Park'.

Our second one comes from the Czech Republic!
It's a scene from Prague....Prague is the capital and largest city of the Czech Republic.  Situated on the Vltava River in central Bohemia, Prague has been the political, cultural and economic center of the Czech state for more than 1100 years. For many decades during the Gothic and Renaissance eras, Prague was the permanent seat of two Holy Roman Emperors and thus was also the capital of the Holy Roman Empire.

three more today!

Three more postcards came in today!! 


The first one is from Czech Republic!!
It's from Karlovy Vary, also known as Carlsbad. Karlovy Vary is a spa city situated 
 in western Bohemia, Czech Republic, on the confluence of the rivers Ohře and Teplá. 
It is historically famous for its hot springs (13 main springs, about 300 smaller springs, and the warm-water Teplá River).
Every July there, they have the International Film Festival!

The next card is from a very nice young woman in Brasil! 

It's an aerial view of Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf in Rio de Janeiro!  What an incredible view!!

Our third is from Finland....

It's a very pretty view of a fly fisherman enjoying a beautifully sunny day!   Makes me want summer to get here a lot faster!!
