And it was on Tueasday. I almost can't believe that. xD</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm not in the mood to write a lot right now. And the grammar can be a little weird. As I said, I'm simply not in the mood. Too much's happening.<br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Anyway, I received this lovely postcard from <b>Daniela</b>, who lives in Germany.<br /></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In my Postcrossing profile I wrote that I enjoyed cards that were somehow connected to coke. This one couldn't make me more happy. Daniela wrote that she was studying to be a teacher in the future. She also recommended me bookcrossing - and idea that I'd heard about befero but never gave it a try. Maybe someday...<br /><br />If you have time, please, visit Daniela's blog - <a href="http://tigerkeks.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">click!</a> It is not only about postcards, but about various aspects of life in general - even baking. It's in German so you need to know the language to understand the posts, but reading them can be a good way to learn - German is fun, believe me. :)<br /><br />And a stamp:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It depicts a Japanese bellflower which is also called a ballon flower. I've never heard about it to be honest, but plants aren't my best friends, so...</span></div>

Despite the cold weather and a little car accident we had on our way home, I'm happy that I could see Karlskrona. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But I'll write about that later, probably this week, however not today. Today it's time to present a card I got on the 27th July. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It came to me from <b>Heike</b>, who lives in the Netherlands with her big family. Her hometown is Holten - a small village in the Eastern part of the country. It's a part of the "Sallandse Heuvelrug" National Park, taht covers a beautiful, natural area with some ravines that are the remains of the glacial period. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Holten was founded around 1230. Today it plays the role of a tourist atraction and in summer the town can be really crowded.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Oq6rpKqYT4" target="_blank">Dido - See the Sun</a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I remembered it just a second ago. Forgot how I enjoyed this song back in 2009. I'm pretty sure that for 3 years in hadn't listened to it at all. Time passes so quickly. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Another postcard from my <b>auntie</b>. She's already back in Poland and I've talked to her on the phone. She told me that she'd enjoyed writing the first card so much that she'd decided to send me another one. Thank you, auntie. :3</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This one is from Barcelona. Much hotter than Lloret de Mar, as I'd heard. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Tomorrow I'm off to Sweden for 3 days - hopefully I'll bring some beautiful postcards home. I'm so excited, as I've always wanted to visit a Scandinavian country (hoped more for Norway, or Finland, but whatever. xD)</span></div>

I received it from my (Polish) <b>aunt Dorota </b>who went to Spain, so I'll probably just tag the post with two labels. Weird. :D</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It's from Lloret de Mar - a place who might seem very hot, but in fact the temperatures there are similar to those in Poland at the moment. As it's visible on the postcard, Lloret de Mar is a typical tourist destination - beaches, hotels, some nice castles to visit. I'm happy for my aunt that she could be there for a few days. :)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm such a lucky little girl and I can't believe in the presence of the postcard I found in my mailbox today. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It's the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco! <3 My favorite bridge in the entire world and also the place I want to see so badly if I ever go to the USA. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />Anyway, here's the prettie.</span></span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The sender, <b>Rheanna</b>, doesn't live in San Francisco, but she loves visiting this city. There are many cultures there that makes the whole area truly diverse. On the streets of San Francisco you can meet many musicians, playing various tunes.<br /><br />I also got to know something about Rheanna's hometown - Eugene in Oregon, USA. It's known as the "Track Town USA". It even held Track and Field Olympic Traits in June 2012.</span></div>

This time it's from Italy. In the picture you can see Venice. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Verdana", sans-serif;">The sender, whose name is <strong>Edoardo</strong> wrote that Venice was the most romantic and beautiful city in the world. I've already been there, in 2008, with a school choir trip - and I must say I really liked it. </span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Verdana", sans-serif;">In the picture the gondola boats can be seen. I didn't get a chance to be a passenger in it, but I'd love to try it one day. It's incredible how the whole transport in Venice is dependent on the water. Just this makes the city unique and memorable. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Verdana", sans-serif;">It came to me from the Netherlands after a 4-day travel. </span>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana", sans-serif;">The sender introduced herself as <b>Ella</b> and she chose this card for me probably due to my interest in fashion. I used to enjoy watching "101 Dalmatians", so this postcard resulted in a big smile on my face. Everything in the photo is spotted - even the walls and the carpet!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana", sans-serif;">Ella wrote me some words in her native language. It's quite similar to German, so understanding it didn't cause me that many problems as I would expect. :)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana", sans-serif;">I managed to translate it into the wishes of nice summer vacations and greetings from the Netherlands. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana", sans-serif;">The postcard had a nice stamp with a lightbulb.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Verdana", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">And that's how I welcome you to my blog. Unfortunately I've never been to Lublin, but today I got this wonderful postcard from my friend, <b>Alicja</b>, who lives there. </span></span><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Verdana", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">This card is something that I especially love - a reprint of the older one. It depicts the Botanical Garden in Lublin. Alicja says that it's very easy to get lost in it, as the people who manage the Garden don't provide any maps or helpful leaflets. It's quite big and covers a total of 21,25 hectares. </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I love the Botanical Garden in Warsaw and I'm looking forward to visiting the one in Lublin in the future. </span></span><span style="font-family: "Verdana", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div>

It's awesome and I admire the effort she's putting in writing it. :) And her posts are really interesting. </span></span></div>Luhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11593069368036284345noreply@blogger.com0
