“Scotland’s premier Royal Palace, Holyroodhouse, and to the left the ruined remains of the 10th century Holyrood Abbey, in historic Edinburgh.” Unreal. The 10th century!

This is not a postcard, but I really like the artistic rendering of the tube system on the front of this tube map. THAT image should be on a postcard … and I’d sure like to have it 🙂 I also found it interesting that they call their tube card an Oyster card. Wonder why?!? Very neat stuff…thanks mom! 🙂
Of course my family rode on a double decker bus … and even made a phone call in a red phone booth 🙂 I think I’d do the same were I to go to London!
What a beautiful scene…beautiful castle!
You can see how the castle was built right out of the rock — so very beautiful! My sister said it was about a two mile walk up to the castle proper … said her butt hurts even thinking about that walk, but that it was worth it. I’m sure! 🙂
From my sister Maria — don’t know if you can see, but the letters are raised and glittery. Very pretty card and nice view! Sorry I messed up the scan … got some extra black space in there 🙂
My mom and two of my sisters went to Europe recently–they visited London, Paris and Edinburg, Scotland! And of course they brought me lots of nice stuff and lots of postcards! Thanks all! 🙂
The White Tower, founded in 1078 by William the Conquerer, was the scene of many royal executions. Just love the history!
Now that’s winter!
