For the theme this weekend, the only postcard I have for a university was featured last year. Here are two postcards instead that talk about universities:
The sender wrote that Freiburg City, where she lives is an old university town in Black Forest Area of Germany, close to France and Switzerland. I think she's mostly referring to the 500-plus years old Albert Ludwig University of Freiburg. It is in the top 5 oldest universities in Germany along with Ruprecht Karl University of Heidelberg, University of Leipzig, University of Rostock, and University of Greifswald. When I look at this card, I crave for a slice of Black Forest cake, given the colors of the costume the woman & children are wearing and the name of the area.
The multi-view card shows places of interest in the university town of Plzn. For this card, the sender wrote about the degree she's studying at the University of West Bohemia. It's called Faculty of Philosophy, International Relations, British and International Studies. I wish I was able to keep it touch. She seems to be a perfect person to speak with about the Brexit and the results of the recent USA elections ...
Have you ever experienced receiving a postcard in the mail and exclaiming out loud or in your mind, "Oh! I've been there!" -- this postcard is one of those cards for me. Well, except of course those postcards that I sent to myself whenever I travel.

Sadly, I don't have any library card to share, but I have at least one museum postcard.

This postcard came to me 2 months after I was there in Acropolis. It's an understatement to say how grand is their collection, given the rich cultural history of the place. I would love to go back to get lost once again into a different age while viewing their displays.
Happy Thanksgiving to readers & participants who celebrate and to everyone, I wish us all a good rest this weekend!

I wonder what she is carrying on her head in the first postcard. A very impressive hall in Greece, I've been to quite a lot of museum there but not that one.
ReplyDeleteI love especially the last card, because I was there two years ago. So, when I see it I had the same feeling. Actually, I spent a whole day inside the museum, even had lunch and afternoon tea there. And I still wish to visit it again!
ReplyDeleteHi Maria, I enjoyed your cards for this post. An interesting aspect of postcard collecting is coming to my attention through the linky party. Some collections are cards received through the mail. Others are cards purchased. Mine is in the latter category. I initially started by collecting cards about Yellowstone National Park. It would be unlikely to receive many of them through the mail. Thanks for sharing and hosting!
ReplyDeleteI found myself in trouble with this week's theme because I haven't got any cards sorted according to those themes... ;)
ReplyDeleteLovely postcards for this weeks theme...and one showing a place where you have been is always a bit special!
