On the Baltic Sea

This beautiful blue stamp brought me a card

from Algirts who lives in Latvia.

The lighthouse on the stamp is Mersraga Raka.

You can see a full picture of the lighthouse below.

This is the wonderful beach scene that Algirts sent. He said

that most of their beaches are covered with sand as in this

picture, but there are also some with gravel and rocks.

Brenda said she thought I ought to paint this scene.

Maybe I'll just do that!

Thank you, Algirts, for the lovely beach scene!

Another Private Swap

I received the following postcard of the port at Riga, Latvia

from my friend, Egita. Below you see the flag of Latvia and also the

stamp that brought my postcard.

Isn't this a great postcard?

I love the lighted ship. It looks like they

are having some kind of a celebration--and who doesn't

love a celebration!

This postcard comes to me from Egita in Riga, Latvia. She says

thatRiga is the capital city of Latvia and this is one side of the Riga port.

It is very close to the University where she attends and, therefore,

she goes here from time to time.

She also says that their coastline is longer than their landline!

She goes hiking with her friends along the seaside every year.

Egita, I would dearly love to go hiking with you!

You really do have a lovely country and I am sure I would love it!

Thank you so very much for the wonderful postcard!
