It's only November and we've already received two postcards, unbelievable! Thank you, Mariluz and Raquel for thinking of us while you were abroad!Mariluz went to meet her son in Copenhaguen and that's what she saw:
And Raquel, also from English 7, travelled all the way to Tokyo and came back to school a bit jet-lagged but happy to have visited an incredible and at the same time quiet city (that's what she told us!). Thanks, Raquel!

No, it wasn't the last one!
We went back to school on Wednesday this week and I was happily suprised by the postcards sent by some of the students during their summer holidays, thank you all so very much! Here you have the postcards received: from Russia with love (Pablo) and from Sicily and France (Fernando). It's great to learn you all had a great time this summer :-)
First (and last?) postcard this year
This year's first postcard arrived kind of late, but it was very welcome, José Manuel, so thanks a lot! I hope you've all had a great Easter break, and I also hope you all have sent many postcards from your whereabouts :-)
Welcome to Our Postcards' Site!
Let's start this new school year with more postcards! Come on and hurry up - who's going to send the first one this year? :-)

This year's last postcard

A trip to Italy
Ángel spent his Easter holidays in Italy, where he didn't bump into Eva, who also visited the beautiful city of canals, Venice!
Following you have the three postcards he sent us from three beautiful cities: Florence, Siena and Venice. Molti grazie, Ángel!!! :-D
Ángel, did you know that one of those tourists was actually our Eva? :-)
Thank you, Eva, for sending us this beautiful postcard from the city of canals! What a pity you didn't meet Ángel there!
This is what she experienced there:
Elena, Ángel, Luarca
Elena gave us (couldn't send from there) another postcard from Luarca, proving Ángel that they do have postcards there ;-)
That's what she wrote:
But then Ángel sent us this really nice postcard from Luarca:
Our first postcard from France!
The funny thing about it is that he tells us where he finally got it! :-D Look and read what he says!!

It's a beautiful postcard, isn't it? This is what Claudia wrote (no stamp because she brought it herself instead of sending it!)
By the way, does any of you know the name of the soldier who jumps escaping from East Berlin as the Wall was being built?
And yes, Eva (from Inglés 5) answered the question: the name of this solder is Conrad Schumann. Well done, Eva! :-)
Madrid, Madrid, Madrid
Ángel (English 6 again!) was, as usual, in Madrid, and thought of us. He sent maybe the most original postcards so far - the clearest of all and the most confusing as well. Check them out!

Thanks, Ángel!
Who could have thought of...?
Haha!! Albacete! And that's what Carmen wrote on the back side:
Tránsito, thanks again for scanning the postcards! :-)
Oxford calling!
Tránsito took a plane in December 2010, right in the middle of the air-traffic controllers' crisis, and managed to get to London and Oxford, from where she sent us all this very elegant postcard:
And this is what she told us on the back part:
Thanks, Tránsito, for the postcard! And thank you too for scanning the postcards :-)
First postcards!

This is what she wrote:
Thanks, Bea, for these two great postcards and for thinking of us while you were abroad! :-)
