Market Square, Krakow

Ana must have rung in the new year in Krakow, as this card is postmarked the second of January. I didn’t get the details; beside the amazing view, all this card contains is hugs. No matter, I’ll take them. Hopefully she’s received my own card from my own new year adventure, which started its journey to her on the same day.

Speaking of views, check out some other fine views this week at Theme Thursday.

An amazing view from Poland, and our first foray into Theme Thursday.

Views of Rio de Janeiro

Sunset at Arpoador

Cris sent me these beautiful images from around Rio de Janeiro.  This first image shows sunset at Arpoador, which is a small peninsula between Ipanema and Copacabana known for great surfing. Below we see Copacabana beach itself.

And would any group of postcards from Rio be complete without an image of Carnaval? Unfortunately, you’ll have to wait until next Easter to go.

The Zipper

Sleep like a zipper

From my friend Susan in Ohio comes this image from The Secret Language of Sleep: A Couple’s Guide depicting a couple that neither sees eye to eye, nor dances cheek to cheek. Apparently there are all sorts of politics associated with sleeping comfort in a bed shared. Who knew?

For those who zip themselves together, it’s advised to keep a supply of towels and drinking water bedside. Every time I’ve done that, it didn’t have anything to do with sleeping.

If you want to get comfortable, take the author’s sleep test.

If you sleep like a zipper, be sure to keep plenty of towels on hand.

Skopje, Beginning of XX Century

Ana recently found a cache of reprints of antique postcards, and I’m very happy to be one of the recipients. This view shows Skopje as it was at the turn of the 20th Century; at this time it was part of the Ottoman Empire.  But this city view might just as easily be turn of the century Chicago or New Orleans or Dallas.  Of course, it looks nothing like modern Skopje.

Ana recently found a cache of antique postcard reprints, which means mail for me!
