My daughter studied in Italy in 2001 for 4 months. During one of her weekends she and a group of students took the train to Munich for the real Octoberfest. While there she wrote us a postcard.
October 6/01
"Hi Family! I am having an incredible time here in Munich. The Octoberfest festivities were quite an experience. My friends and I also went on a really cool hike tour of the city. Munich is so much more beautiful than I had imagined. Today we will go to Dacau-one of the first concentration camps of WWII. It will be a heartbreaking, yet enriching experience. I hope everything is well back home. I miss you all & love you very much. Sonya XOXOXO " There is an Italian stamp as Sonya sent it when she returned to Milan.
Germany does have such a rich history and culture. The postcard features the Church of the Theatines (1675).
Have you been to Germany? I would love to go one day and take a cruise down the Rhine to visit historic sites as well as tour the wine country. There are so many good wines especially the white ones- Reisling, Blue Nun, to name a couple- that I love.
If you want a postcard featured here, email me at abdm@rogers.com and I will send you my address so you can send me a postcard.
