Stop 95 - Beijing

Our last postcard was sent to Beijing, in China, 9301 kilometers away!


The postcard was sent to Yue. It was sent by Carlota, a C1.2 student who wrote on a postcard featuring the 19th century Noia Bridge, a stone construction built in place of the ancient and previous Medieval structure.


On the back, Carlota wrote in quite extensive detail (and beautiful, small handwriting) about Noia landmarks and Galician food and traditions.


Thanks, Carlota!

Stop 93 - Grave

Our last postcard was sent to Grave, in the Netherlands, 1482 kilometers away!


The postcard was sent to Lia. It was sent by Ángela, a C1.1 student who wrote on a postcard with a lovely view of Saint Martin's church tympanum, which includes a scene with Christ and the Old men from the Apocalypse tuning up their instruments (a scene probably inspired in the Santiago Pórtico da Gloria), with an added bonus on the left side: a pregnant Virgin Mary.


On the back, Ángela gives some information about herself and our town.


Thanks, Ángela!
