Five more today!

Today we came home from a field trip to the fire department and found five more postcards in the mailbox!! 
First up...Ireland!

This one is of West Cork...don't know if you can see it in this picture, but the best part of the card is the picture on the left...it's a guy at what looks like an old fashioned gasoline pump...it's really dispensing Murphy's Irish Stout into his cup!  LOL!  I also love the pictures with the rainbows and castles!!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This one is from Poland...Bialystok is the city shown in the pictures...Branickich is a palace (presently housing a Medical University) surrounded by a lovely park!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This one is from Taiwan!  The picture is of "Chuanfan Rock"....Chuanfan means 'sail' in Chinese...The rock is shaped like a sail!  It is located in Kenting.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is from Italy!  The picture is of Saint Mark's Basilica in Venice! 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And lastly, another one from Poland!

It's of Ojcow National Park....it's Polands smallest National Park.  The picture in the circle is of Hercules’ Bludgeon...it's a limestone formation and is what people come to see the most in the park!  There are also many caves!!

Yeah!! Another Postcard!!

Today we got a postcard in the mail from Dublin, Ireland!  We were pretty excited to get one in the mail today...it truly is an addiction...

This postcard is of The Martello Tower.  Immortalised by James Joyce in the novel 'Ulysses'. 

The tower, one of several along the coast were originally built to protect against the possibility of invasion by Napoleon.  It is now a museum and contains some of James Joyce's personal possessions.

There is something about Ireland...probably because my ancestors came from there.  Whatever it is, I have always wanted to go there.  For now, it looks like I'll have to settle for the postcards!!  No trips planned any time soon!  Maybe when we retire!
