From the Land of 1000 Mountains

I really love this card!

It is from the Tyrolean Alps and I enjoy

looking at each of the 14 views!

The card came to me from Gaby, who lives in

Osttirol in Austria.

Another thing I like about the card, is that Gaby

wrote it all in German! I was able to figure most

of it from what I remembered of the German I

learned in Ulm. However, I did have to resort to

my German-English dictionary for some of it!

Gaby said that she comes from Austria, specifically

from Osttirol. She says they have many mountains

there but only 100 people in her village.

Thank you, Gaby, for such a delightful card!

I love this beautiful Austrian stamp with the

airliner on it!

From Austria

This postcard comes to me from Christine, who is

a university student at the University in Vienna, Austria.

She is studying Austrian literature.

The picture on the card is of the village of Scheibbs.

It is a village near Christine's home town of

Petzenkirchen. When I looked at her map location, I saw that it is

near the Danube River.

Ah! Die schoene Blau Donau!
As you can see, there is a blanket of snow on the ground, which

looks very inviting here in San Antonio where it is 99 degrees F.

(in the shade) today!

Thank you, Christine, for the lovely card and a breath

of cool air!
