This is from Cindy, you know, the one who just got married.  She writes that she loves Amsterdam–calls it “perhaps the greatest city ever!”  It does look pretty great.

I love they shiny cheerfulness of this snail postcard.  So pretty.  Tina sent me a quote:  “The paths of friendship shall be walked often or they will grow rampant.”

Hey look, it’s Yuri Gagarin, the first cosmonaut who is from Svetlana’s region.  I don’t think I ever knew what he looked like.

Here’s an actual postrcossing postcard, not one from my friends. This postcard is from Diana, who tells me that this is the Riverwalk at Christmas, but that San Antonio also has a Sea World and several large Army and Air Force Bases.  As I’ve not been to San Antonio, this is handy to know.

This arrived after the naked hiker, but was written before.  It’s from Sara too.  She was loving Norway.
 

I experimented with trying to trick people in to thinking I’d been to the fjords myself by taking a picture of the postcard, but I’m working with a different camera (great sad story there, which I won’t tell now) so I couldn’t get a crisp shot.
 

At least I think it’s from Norway.  Check in the comments, after Sara reads, there will be a yea or a nay posted to that query.

This is from Sara and is funny on many levels.  One: naked hiker.  Two: Sara picking it out and actually purchasing it from the clerk.  Three: oh, I’ll just let Sara tell it.
“How could I not send this to you!  You know I was embarrassed to purchase it and had a funny interaction with the Eastern European clerk.  The other funny thing is that this was just one of the almost ten version s of odd nudity in the woods/fjord/skiing, etc.  I hope you got a laugh.”

Yep-per.  I did indeed.

This postcard is from Ting-Yu Lin who is majoring in Industrial Engineering at university.

We’ve reached the preview postcard from this collection.
 

And one of the images.

Sara sent four cards on the same day, but they arrived in pairs on different days.  So funny.

Here’s some good Frank Lloyd Wright.
 

And this Amish boy with a shiny seat to his pants.
 

Ivana sent me this.  It was 16 degrees Celsius when she sent it, and a bit rainy, judging by the rain cloud she drew.  Very pretty, the Czech Republic is.
