To get to Berlin, we'll have to take the train from Bremen, with a change in Hannover. Berlin is full of things to do - we could stay for weeks and not see everything. So what do we do in our short time here? Comemmorating the border between East and West that once stood there. Next we'll want to stroll over the Reichstag. Suggests visiting the Pergamo...

http://postcardvoyager.blogspot.com/2012/11/scotlands-mysteries.html
A journey through postcards. Friday, November 9, 2012. Particularly in the United States, where a large portion of our population claims Scottish ancestry, Scotland has an air of mystique, and Scottish culture enjoys a cult-ish following. I have received many beautiful postcards from Scotland (I wish I could show them all), but in order to keep this post focused, I've decided to explore a small region of Scotland called Argyll. The region of Argyll ( see here for map. Campbeltown almost certainly receive...

Postcard Voyager: September 2009
http://postcardvoyager.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
A journey through postcards. Wednesday, September 9, 2009. La Rioja, Wine Aplenty. Say, cold winters, warm summers, and moderate precipitation year round. Rioja wines can come in red, white, or rosé varieties, and all are oak-aged. All in all, it sounds like a great place to visit. The Cantabrian Mountains are nearby, and the Elbe River flows through the region. The wine is world-famous, so you could probably tour wineries and sample wines all day long. But the real reason I want to visit?
