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!

Postcard: RU-413651
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..))))
Bali - Island in Indonesia
Friend from Ukraine sent this wonderful postcard of Kerta Gosa - former seat of the oldest kingdom in Bali.
Postcardcafe Private Swap Canada-Wales
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!

RR 11 from Russia
I'll never get tired to say that wish tag is working!!!! Again I got super wonderful surprise in the mail... some time ago
I post this postcard in my blog and very nicely asked for it.
Today I got the mail, and ... along with other 12 (!!!) postcard was this one!!!!
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!!!

Souvenir Swap from Czech Republic
The Jewish cemetery in Terezin |
The astronomical clock in Olomouc |
The baroque fountains |
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.

Never had such a beautiful postcard from Lithuania, with a personal invitation to visit Vilnius next time I'm in Europe. I might do that, since I'm planing to visit a bunch of places next year. Thank you Olga!

Postcard: CN-358211
A bird's eye view of the Birthplace of Confucius. |
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!!!
