Postcard exchange

Sorry ...

I receive a lot of postcards this days....

Anke (beautiful one, dark night at Monte Alto)
Una (a little nonnie)
Iepurica and Bansa (Tórshavn, little pictures of a very beautiful place!)
Rodrigues (take a time but came Franz!) And in portuguese!

thanks!! I loved each one...



I will send more next week

Thanks a lot Andreea and Ernst for sending me a card from...VÁGAR, looks so nice

It is not quite the most beautiful island, but the card looked nice. Hopefully they will move the airport from there, even they are a lot of protests.

Hi Andreea
Are you feeling better today?

Not quite 100%, still caughing a lot and I guess I have some fever too, but it will pass.

Hope you get better soon. I found something out when reading your (and Bamsas) card...my grandfather had the same name 'Ernst' I thought that was a Swedish name only.

As I said previously, here I am to show you the nice postcard I got from Una Smith!



Mexican Gold Poppies and Prickly Pear Cacti



Here's the backside of it - She does have a nice handwriting!!!

Thanks Una, once again!

Unhappily, the postman folded the postcard before dropping it in my mailbox! There is a visible mark on it If I had seen him or her doing this!!!
You never fold postcards because postcards are not letters - what a dumb!!

Ernst is actualy German, means "earnest".

Ok, fun to know.
I thought that was a Old Norse name, not a german one, but I checked it up...and you are right about it

Jippi (big smile) I recieved 2 cards today. One from Chantal -HORN...and that is about how I think of Holland... plenty of water-canals, but (hey)I miss the tulips Chantal !!

And from Roller-coaster I got a almost black / white card from Belgrade. First thought it was verry old...kind of artistic card, ..nice.

Thank you guys!

There are no tulips in HoOrn ... hihi sorry about that

Ok!
I just thought that Holland was the country of tulips. I know people from Sweden do travel to Holland only for the flowers...well, I guess they like to see the country tooOOO, but in general we (or at least me) think TULIPS!

And windmills and polders... And last, but not least, the wooden shoes - I don't know the English word for it - how are they called in Dutch, Chantal?

I know Iepurica....clog in English
We have them to (in Swedish...träskor)

Yesterday I got the card from Una Smith!

Thanks!



How do you like my little apartment? (quote by Una Smith)

What No elevator?

they're wooden shoes in english as far as I know . They're called klompen in Dutch.

Ok, thanks. I still "suffer" I have not bought one pair last time I was in Holland... Well, at least, I have a reson to come back....

Lol only tourists wear/buy them, and veryvery old fashioned people .

It's the same with our "opinci" but now, beig so far from home, I would love to have a pair. I guess I never appreciated those things when I was home, in Romania. In Faroe Islands half of the population has the traditional Faroese shoes. I guess they are more keen of preseving the tradition...

Gocin, how do you upload pictures in the message field? I have no clue...
