Postcards from Latvia, Portugal and Lithuania

Postcards seem to be all I have going on in the travel department right now. Which isn't entirely true but I hate to discus what my travel plans are because they have been changing so much. I guess there is one trip I know for sure I will be taking and that is to go to my family reunion over the second weekend in August. So, I will begin sharing that with you here.

This one comes from Lisbon, Portugal. These trolly's look like so much fun to ride. It also looks like your first ride in one might be a little scary but still so much fun.

This one comes to me from Latvia. It's so beautiful and mysterious I want to hop on a plane right now.

This one if from Lithuania. The sender informs me Trakai is the ancient capital of Lithuania and houses the famous Trakai castle.

The thing all of these postcards have in common is their ability to make me want to go there as soon as possible. I would give almost anything to put the things I need in a backpack and travel for months at a time.

Postcards

This first card came to me from Germany. The title of the artwork on the card is Where Goes The Music and was painted by Michael Ferner. These guys are fuzzy at first I thought it was just their clothes but then I realized everything was fuzzy.
This card is from Hungary and is the first card I have ever received from that country. It is an illustration from a very famous Hungarian illustrator called Reich Karoly. I would love to read one of his storybooks some day.
Some handmade cards just aren't very good, the people sending them try but they just don't fit together very well at all. This one however is great, there are pictures of the city, art and pictures of real live people they look like they are clipped from a newspaper and that is great, I love seeing the real people.
