LE PUY DE DOME -- LE SOMMET (1,465 m), France

Moutain stages of the Tour de France often finish here -- you can see why!

ANOTHER ONE FROM KATERINA -- this time Oakland Auto Court, Oakland CA, USA

"One block from US Highway No 250 at 88th Avz. No traffic disturbance, restful surroundings, pleasing accomodation. 30 attractive, homelike cottages with all modern facilities, including provate telephone service and attached garages. Some cottages have kitchenettes. Two blocks to stores and restaurant. 20 minutes to downtown Oakland. Phone...."

Nowy Sącz Voivodeship (Region) - a unit of administrative division existing in 1975-1998. Located in the southern part of Poland, on the border with Slovakia (until 1992 with Czechoslovakia). It bordered the Krosno Region to the east, the Tarnów and Kraków Region to the north and the Bielsko Voivodeship to the west. The seat of the Region authorities was Nowy Sącz. Postcard sent in 1986 .

THREE MORE FROM MIKEL UNTZILLA --thanks, thanks, thanks, Mikel

1. Passage du metro devant La Tour Eiffel

Seen one Eiffel picture, a,d seen them all. But the train makes this view different -- but not really interesting.

So here's another Eiffel Tower one from Mikel...

2. Exposition des Arts Decoratifs -- Vue de Nuit

Not a lot of Decoratif Arts in sight, so onwards to Spain...

3. 'Nocturnal view of the Toral Square', Santiago de Compostela, Spain

Visited this Square a  number of times when I was in SdeC, but, alas, I didn't get included in this Boring Postcard

GREEK THEATER, GREEK DRAMA, GREEK TRAGEDY -- Boring Postcards from Katerina; Boring Text from Val

1. The Theater, Dodone, Greece (on 1 June, 1985)

There's no-one there. The Drama/Tragedy:Comedy has yet to begin.

2. The Theater, Dodone, Greece (on 1 June, 1985)

Well, something's happening -- or has happened. There's one actor standing in the middle of the Theater, and  two others to the actor's left at the edge of the inner ring. These must make up the cast, so it's not a very big production.

At the far left and front of the Boring Postcard are six other people. These must be the audience. Are they coming to the play or are they going? Whatever, there's lots and lots of empty seats, so the performance was probably not a geat success. Hence the tragic nature of this Boring Postcard.

TWO GREEK ONES FROM KATERINA -- THANKS AGAIN.

1. 'South-east side of the royal Peristyle', Vergina, Greece

In the words of Katerina, 'Just a lot of OLD STONES'

(In the words of Val, 'Just a lot of boring old stones')

2. 'General view of Halkis', in Evia, north of Athens, Greece

(General View was a famous Greek soldier, and a contemporary of General Electric, General Motors, General Dynamics, General Mills and other American military heros)

THINGS ARE VERY BAD IN PARIS, FRANCE, THESE DAYS....

1.La tour Eiffel de la rue St Eleuthère

"So I said to President Macron..."

"But did he listen to you?"

"No, he never listens to anyone these days."

2. Things are so bad here that we have to go busking on the streets and have had to get the dog to wear a dress and dance

Please send us lots of money.

PS The dog neither likes dressing up or dancing.
