Ireland: Cottages of Ireland

Encompassing a wealth of natural beauty within its modest dimensions, Ireland boasts a landscape which is as much diverse as it is gratifying from scenic landscapes and country cottages to stately castles. Standing in the path of both the prevailing westerly winds of the Atlantic and the warming currents of the Gulf Stream, Ireland enjoys an equitable climate which gives the country its unique fresh appearance.

Austria: Card from Ireland

Greetings from Dublin. The Liffey, named Anna Livia Plurabelle by James Joyce is the lifeblood of Dublin since the Vikings plunged their longships into its estuary nearly 1,200 years ago. The river rises in the Wicklow Mountains. The Liffey has always had a central role in the prosperity (or otherwise), history, literature and culture of the city.

This card was sent to me by an Austrian postcrosser from an Irish Postcrossers meeting. How cool is that?
