More from Postcross!!!

I promised so I have delivered . . . even if they are a bit out of order. But here is my latest batch of postcross cards!

#15 came to me from Switzerland! The gentleman that sent it is from England and he says that he loves the mountains there. This postcard is the view from his balcony. I would be able to see it all except for the sticker applied by the postal service due to lack of postage! At least I got it.


This next one is #12 from Turkey! It reminds me of the trip that I took there . . . I think I have seen some of the sights on the postcard. The young girl that sent it loves stickers so the envelope that she sent the card in has lots of stickers all over it.

#13 is from Tallinn, Estonia! LOL, when she wrote my address on the postcard she wrote "United States of Estonia", lololol!!! She says her favorite countries are Scotland and Australia, which she hopes to visit someday . . . I think she might like them.

#14 FINLAND!! I love these quaint little houses on the postcards I have received from Finland. I have gotten a couple of these so far.

The 11th Postcross and the last for today! I am finally caught up with scanning these. Oh, and would you believe . . . this one if from FINLAND!! The sender is a young girl who is passionate about the planet and animals. She is very worried about global warming. I hope that she can maintain that passion and go on to do something productive to assist in an area that can make an impact.

More cute stamps from Finland.

Oh, here we go with #10 . . . isn't this a cute reproduction of an old post card? It is from Hungary and the hometown of the sender . . . Pecs (the hometown that is).


and a nice stamp too!

This is the 9th Postcross postcard and it came from FINLAND!!! I've gotten several postcards and sent several to Finland. I find interesting too that such a small country has so many participants in Postcross!! The sender told me that they are on their summer vacation which they spend in their summer cottage . . . I wish I had a summer cottage!


And look at the cute stamp!

My 8th Postcross postcard is from The Netherlands. The sender lives in the town, Dordrecht, and she says it is a typical old Dutch town. I have never been to The Netherlands, so I don't know how typical . . . I guess I still need to do a grand tour of Europe!


The stamps for my 8th postcross . . .

My 7th Postcross postcard (received from France) and I had to do a bit of translating from French! I know that I put French as one of my languages . . . because I did study it. It is good practise for me to read French after so many years. The little things are easy . . . and it isn't that many words since there isn't much space on a postcard. But darned if someone doesn't just use a word or expression that I have no idea what it means! Now where did I put my Petit LaRousse. That's a french-english dictionary I've been lugging around since my Uni days!

The stamp from my latest postcross postcard from France!

And look at the cool stamps on the postcard from Portugal!

Another postcard arrived from Portugal! This is Number 6! I just sent one to Japan and the next address I asked for is in Brazil. I think I am making my way around the world since I have sent other postcards to Australia and New Zealand in addition to the many that have gone to European countries! I wonder if anyone from Egypt is on Postcross!!!

This is the 5th Postcross I've received and it just arrive today. This one is from Denmark and a bit different from the one I received last week . . . not that it is important, LOL! It is always nice to received a variety of cards. Makes for a colorful blog.

My 4th postcard arrive last week and I didn't get it scanned right away . . . but here it is! It was sent from the UK. I think it is an old postcard of a town in Wales as the sender noted that I had traveled to Wales which is his home country.

This is the 3rd postcard that I have received in the Postcross project . . .It is from a young woman who lives in a small town in Germany. I sent off another 3 postcards myself just yesterday. I am now armed with postage and several postcards of Texas . . . so we'll see how long I can keep this up. I noticed that some people have been doing this for over a year. One of the people that I sent a postcard to hasn't registered it as having been received! I noticed that he hasn't been logged on to the website since a month before I got his address. Soooooo, now I wonder what happened to him! I wonder if he moved or just lost interest or has gone off somewhere for work . . . or . . .. I don't want to think about the other possibilities.

These are the stamps from the postcard that I received from Germany.

This is the stamp that was on the postcard that I received from France.

My second postcard receive thru the Postcrossing program . . . from France and this one is of Blois (Loire Valley).

My first Postcross postcard was received from Finland today!!! Yeah!!! This post card is of the national flower of Finland - the Kielo. It is illegal to collect it. It has an intense fragrance so it is used in perfumes. The entire plant is poisonous. This was written on the back of the card.

I joined up back in April and finally sent my first postcards in mid-May . . . you must have one received by a person you sent it too, LOL, before you will have your name put on a list to receive a postcard! It has been almost 2 weeks since my first postcard made a landing in France. So far a total of 4 have been received (and one has gone astray somewhere) which I sent. I have picked 3 more names (well, you just ask and they send you the name and address).

Funny thing, the woman in France that received my first postcard has emailed me a couple of times . . . she wants to practice her English! Turns out we have a few things in common too . . . one thing is that she lives in Dijon, which is where I spent 2 months in a French language program. Her English is much better than my French . . . but I should practice too . . . now where are my French books???
