Sad message: an earlier set of Boring Postcards featured here recently was from 'Jarina and Lapje' -- Jarina my Dutch friend, Lapje her evry old and much loved cat. Last week Lapje had to be put to sleep, alas)

"EDESSA IS NICE"  (especially in the summer)-- a selection from Katerina

Why is Edessa nice? Well, it has a waterfall, and a waterfall and a waterfall, and some Greek ladies in traditional costume if you look closely at the last postcard

OLD POSTCARD OF THE CHAMBER OF BURGESSES, WILLIAMSBURG, VA, USA,  FROM (but not of) YOUNG MIM

"Chamber of the House of Burgesses in the reconstructed Capitol of 1705, Williamsburg, VA. On this hallowed spot, the young Patrick Henry delivered his famous, "Caesar-Brutus" speech against the Stamp Act in 1765."

In American History. a 'Burgess' was a representative in the popular branch of the colonial legislature of Virginia or Maryland.  (Is this Mary Burgess?)
