One more american map card to my collection - Utah this time. Thank you Nicol for the swap!

This wonderful card came from France in a direct swap. I'm not a big fan of cats usually but this drawn card is just charming so I chose it. Thanks Laetitia!

A wonderful card of Table Mountain and Cape Town  below it. Thank you Nicholas for the swap!

This card is from my friend Lyuda from Russia. It shows a golden autumn in Minsk, Belarus. It's precious to me because you won't see an autumn like this in Israel and I miss all those colours now.

My first card from Moldova! It shows Saharna men's Monastery (1776), Holy Trinity church (1821) and Holy Virgin Birth church (1863).
Thank you Nastia for the swap!

Poland

This card shows the Main Market Square in Krakow, Poland. I've been to Krakow in 1999 and loved the city very much.
Thank you Lukasz for this swap!

Portugal

Today my mailbox was very happy - got 6 cards at once!
I'll start from 2 cards from Portugal, they came from Joao.

This one is from Porto, famous for its wine production. It shows the boat called Rabelo that was used to carry the wine barrels down the river.

This one is from Algarve, looks a very beautiful place:

Well, one more chance to this blog. It seems I open it every two years in October and decide it'll be great to update it again. Then I forget about this blog and stop posting. I'll try again, see for how long I can stick to it this time.

Private swap from Lena from Kazan, Russia

Idaho map

Night view of City Hall and Perlach Tower of Augsburg, Germany.
Thanks to Nadine for the swap!

Swansea is a town situated in South Wales, UK. Very beautiful card!
Thanks to Anu for the swap!

Iguazu falls

These are Iguazu Falls in northeast Argentina, on the border with Brazil. I don't always love multiviews but this one is great, so bright and inviting to visit. Well, maybe some day I'll be able to go to Argentina... Thanks to Laura for the postcard!

And one more american card came this week from Aarika (a fellow lab technician :)). It's a night view of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Love the reflection of the buildings in the water.

One more map card :)

Yay, another map card to my collection!This time it's a map of South Carolina. And it also has an Olympic stamp - snowboarder from 2010 Vancouver Winter Games. Thanks Toni for the swap!

Thanks to Isabella from Germany for this amazing card! I'd love to go to Venice for the carnival one day, should be very interesting experience.

Switzerland

Switzerland is a very special country to me. Two of my favorite sportsmen - figure skater Stephane Lambiel (2 time world champion and 2006 Olympic silver medalist) and an amazing tennis player Roger Federer are from there. I started to learn french because of them - I wanted to understand numerous articles and interviews about Stephane and Roger in the Swiss press :) So you see, I have kind of emotional connection to this country and always happy to receive postcards from there. Thanks to Pamela for the postcard!

Montreal, Canada

I'm in love with Montreal postcards. They are so beautiful! The first one is my absolute favorite - I love and miss autumn cause in Israel we don't have such a fall and seeing all these red and golden trees I feel a bit nostalgic. Thanks to Olivia for all the amazing postcards!

Otranto, Italy

This sunny postcard is from Giuseppe. I love very much the yellow-blue coloring here! It's "Porta Alfonsina", the main gate of the Old city of Otranto, Italy. The gate and the walls were built at the end of 15th century.
