Superheroes, Unite!

This great Marvel Comics postcard

came to me from Canada.

The name of the person who sent it is not on the card,

But I do like it. She (he?) says that she does not

share my love of water because she becomes queasy.

She also said that she got sea-sick on a whale-watching

vacation where she only saw some seals!

Thank you for the card, and better luck on your

next boat trip!

Virginia is for (Lighthouse) lovers!

Here are four lighthouses in Virginia, sent to me

by Jessi, who is majoring in Spanish and German.

She said that, when she received my address for

sending a card, she had just bought this card.

Isn't that perfect for me???

Sam and I have visited all four of these lighthouses.

From left to right, they are Assiteague Island,

New Point Comfort, Old Cape Henry, and New

Cape Henry. So this card brings back memories.

Thank you, Jessi, for a wonderful card!

A Greeting from Lithuania

This very unusual card comes to me from

Siauliu in Lithuania. The legend says it is

the Hill of Crosses near Siauliu, but I have

no further information on it at this time.

I am supposing that people come here to ask

for favors from God and they leave crosses on

the hill. Maybe I can find more information later.

The card was not signed, but I wish to thank

the sender. I am intrigued by the card!

The snows of Finland

Katri, a 16 year old school girl from Jyvaskyla,

Finland sends greetings. She apologized for sending

pictures of snow in May. However, I think no

apologizes are necessary--it looks good when

the temperature here is in the 90's!

Katri says that now the sun is shining and

it is warm, and that she loves summer. She was

also excited because she had only two weeks of

school left.

Best wishes to you, Katri. Thank you for your card

and I hope you enjoy your summer holidays!

Kopu Lighthouse, Finland

Just look at THIS lighthouse! It was sent

to me by Pirjo, who lives in Finland. She says that

she was here at Kopu lighthouse in 2007.

According to the legend on the card, there

is a cafe here at the lighthouse. Would that

not be a great place to dine???

Thank you, Pirjo, for your wonderful lighthouse card!

The Four Seasons in Finland

I received this great card from Mia.

She sent greetings from the land of a thousand

lakes. The card shows each of the seasons

in Finland. I am especially drawn to the Fall

scenery in the upper left corner!

Thank you, Mia, for your beautiful card!

Water, Water, Everywhere

Mitchell, from Holland, sent me this water-y postcard.

He says that app. 40% of the land in Holland,

including the densely popul;ated parts, would

be sea if it weren't for the dikes.

Thank you, Mitchell, for the great card.
