China

This card is cool for a couple of reasons. First, I always love to get cards from China! Second, I LOVE the Olympics, and getting an Olympics postcard is exciting. And finally, even though it's a card about the Beijing Olympics, Xinwen lives in Guangzhou, the city where we will eventually end our adoption journey (as that is where the U.S. Consulate is located)!

Hong Kong

I don't know what this play in Hong Kong is about, but it certainly looks interesting! :)

Zurich, Switzerland

Zurich is the biggest city in Switzerland, with about 400,000 inhabitants. According to Sonja, they have a river, a lake, and by clear weather you can see the Alps. It's 1 1/2 hours by car to Germany or Austria, and 3 1/2 hours to France or Italy!

Kernave, Lithuania

Religious scenes from Kernave in Lithuania!

Lithuania

This pretty postcard is from Leva, whose favorite is black and white photography, so she picked out this one for me!

Finland

Such a pretty picture, but I really love the note that Anni wrote on the card...Warm greetings from Finland! And welcome to the beach with me. The sun is setting. But its still nice and warm. You can put your toes in to the warm sea water. Nice, right? Here, have a lovely fresh strawberry and some whipped cream with that. Oh, look! There goes a swan with its baby! How cute are they! I have to go to work now, but you can stay! Have a lovely day! - Anni :)

Schones Elbsandsteingebirge, Germany

This scene in Germany is of mountains and a bridge that are made of a special stone. The area is in East Germany, and is a popular vacation spot!
