During the summer I picked up a box of random postcards at a flea market. There were all sorts of blank postcards and an assortment of cards that had apparently been sent to (and saved by) a particular family. It is sort of fascinating to see all the places these people's friends and family traveled to over the years and read their accounts. Some of them are simple greetings with reflections on the weather and lists of all the attractions the travelers had taken in. Others are more personable and mysterious.

Dear F + R,
It seems funny to be communicating with you from over 3,000 miles away, when I always forget to call you at home, but you now know that I'm thinking of you.
I just adore Switzerland. We climbed part of a mountain (the one on this card) today, and took a cog railway down, surrounded by ten singing Swiss boys, one more adorable than the next!
Staying at a charming hotel, and in a day we'll be heading for Italy.
Love to J.
