Wandering thoughts...

I think one of the sweetest things is to have someone send you a postcard--because it means they thought of you, even for a brief moment while they were off having marvelous fun. The messages are always so happy (who doesn't have an awesome time wandering about the globe??), the postage stamps are awesome, and the thought is sincere. So here's to postcards!

From Scripps College, California. Ok, so my friend wasn't on holiday when she sent this (she was at school), but I think it's a cute postcard. I mean, who doesn't want impeccably dressed men from the 50's standing outside their balconies (complete with vines and shuttered windows)? Sigh.
Marstrand, Sweden. Apparently the town is populated with cute blue-eyed, blonde men. I've never been to this particular town in Sweden, but I find this holds true throughout the country, so naturally I was a little bit jealous upon receiving this card. Must make a note to hit up Marstrand next time I'm parusing through Sweden.
Sadly, I don't remember what this place is called. But it is the very tip of England. And apparently it is 12000 miles (or kilometers? Who knows.) from Australia. So I suppose that is pretty cool. In general, England is a pretty cool place, with pretty cool postcards, so I always love getting them! But honestly, who really cares where it came from because what's better than looking your mail box and finding you've got something that travelled miles and miles to be with you?
