"Lake Erie is one of the major waterways of the St; Lawrence Seaway, also offering numerous excellent recreational facilities."

But not if you are a fish.

More flowers than the Casino, but if you don'r want to gamble....

Comment by Valentine Mark Herman on September 21, 2023 at 3:30pm: "GENERAL VIEW" OF ANTIBES, FRANCE

It seems to me that it's a "General View" (nb only a 3-star General) of a boring plant with a little bit of out-of-focus Antibes in the background.

Comment by Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat) on September 16, 2023 at 7:34am: Still unpacking from the move to Athens...

'guess who found a box of old postcards from "Aunt Min and Uncle Bill"?

Hotel and motel postcards in the USA were "free" in the rooms it seems :-)

More boring postcards on their way to Sigean soon.
