Another "what I wish for" postcard

Postcrosser from Germany sent this awesome postcard via postcrossing to USA. Just looking at it made me smile. Getting ready for my trip and I'm thinking that I'm going to get a hearth attack if I'm sitting on the plane, minding my own business and here is a giraffe face looking at me from outside... ouch!

Очень интересная открытка с Дальнего Востока от моей тёзки. Я тут подумала, в принципе у меня кроме Москвы, да Питера практически других городов то и нет. Или посткроссинг не развит, или людям есть чем более важным заняться..))))

Friend of mine who lives in Canada recently vacationed in Wales - got this lovely postcard in the mail today.
Dinefwr park and Castle, Carmarthenshire
Set in an 18th-century park beside the River Tywi, Newton House dates from mid-17th century but the angled towers were added in 1760-80 and the house given a limestone facade in 1852.

Look at the angry sky above, I almost can feel the wind and storm brewing near. Love it!

Other Languages RR 196 - Numbers, a group where postcrossers from different countries send each other postcard filled with different things on their own language. I sing up for numbers and offered Russian, Hebrew or Kazakh (I know, I know, I hardly remember, but numbers were easy) and Tatiana from Russia decided that I know Russian good enough and taught me how to count in Finnish :)

Love the postcard!!!

The Jewish cemetery in Terezin

The astronomical clock in Olomouc


The baroque fountains
Got this wonderful package from Ba'ra, with postcards, hand-written letter, fridge magnet, tour guide for Olomouc - small town in Czech Republic. Thank you my dear for a wonderful surprise.





Jewish Quarter in Prague place I hope to visit one day, and definitely will visit those two synagogues. The Old-New was built in 13th century and is the oldest in Europe. It has been main synagogue for Jewish community for over 700 years. The Jerusalem synagogue was built in 1906 and during the war it was used as a warehouse, as a result, was protected from destruction.

A bird's eye view of the Birthplace of Confucius.
The sea! the sea! the open sea!
The blue, the fresh, the ever free!
Without mark, without a bound
It runneth the earth's wide regions' round.
It plays with the clouds, it mocks the skies.
Or like a cradled creature lies.

Love this poem, unfortunately the sender from China did not include who is the author.

RR 3 from England

N. America meet the World Group 74 - postcard from my list of favorites. Jacqueline - thank you so much!!!
