18.10.22 Dare Mister Valentine Mark Herman,   ...I'm certainly not complaining, but I hardly ever see a "boring postcard" here anymore---exotica, exotica--- galore!!!(or does that response simply point out my lack of awareness & a meager geographic sophistication?)...& turning the opera house upside down only made it more glorious.

SOMEONE (I Think from France) SENT ME THESE, BUT I HAVE FORGOTTEN WHO THAT 'SOMEONE' WAS -- APOLOGIES 'SOMEONE', AND THANKS/MERCI

1. Barletta, Teatra Comunale Curci (Italy?)

2. Chapel Bridge with Water Tower, Lucerne, Switzeland

3. Chateaux de la Loire, Chaumont Sur Loire, Valoire, France

4. Mortehoe and Woolacombe, England

5. Dartmouth Castle, Devon, England

"The twin castles of Darmouth and Kingswear guard the mouth of the River Dart, Devon's beautiful river. The towns are reached by roads A 379 and B 3205." And, when you get there, don't forget to buy a Boring Postcard (or two).
