Believe it or not...

the six new postcards are on the map....but the blue pins are not showing.  (One of the technical difficulties!)  While we are working on that, you can still click on the general location (the state) and the postcard will pop up.  For Prague, click on the Czech Republic and for Bavaria, click close to the bottom of Germany, and it should pop up.  Sorry for the technical difficulties....hoping to get it fixed soon!

Fun Facts from our new places...

The postcard from Maine shows Lobster Traps in the front.

The South Carolina Postcard has many fun facts on it:

• home of Vanna White, President Andrew Jackson, Althea Gibson, and Joe Frazier
• state dance is the Shag
• largest producer of peaches, not Georgia
• the salamander was given the honor of official state amphibian
• the walls of the American fort on Sullivan Island, were made of spongy Palmetto logs...the British cannonballs just bounced right off the logs
• two state mottoes: Prepared in mind and resources / While I breathe, I hope

The Postcard from Germany has a photo of the Neuschwanstein Castle near Fussen, southwest Bavaria.  More than 1.3 million people visit annually.  It has appeared in several movies and was the inspiration for Disney's Sleeping Beauty Castle.  (We found more info. on Wikipedia.)

Kentucky, "the bluegrass state", pictures a sunset.

The picture of Gatlinburg, TN was taken in the Fall.

The photo in Prague, Czech Republic, shows the Old Town Square and the Old Town Astronomical Clock.

More Postcards...6 to be exact (2 from out of the country)!!

Okay, so it's been awhile since we've updated.  Technical difficulties with posting the postcards to the map, didn't help!  Hopefully it's working now...

Thanks to all of you for sending them in!  We appreciate them all and all of you!!  We are getting postcards from places we've never been and places we never thought we would go to, but may some day.  Thanks for the multiple postcards and for the ones from out of the country; and thanks to all of you who have asked other friends and family to participate in this project.  We are going to continue to remind and ask for you to keep asking friends and family and keep sending postcards.  We still have NOT gotten any from the Buckeye State! LOL  And if you check the list on the side of the page, there are more states we have not received any from.  (And many, many countries that we would love to get them from!) 


Thanks for the newest submissions!
