Happy mailbox, happy me

I did several swaps again and here are the results.

I got so many nice cards and stamps that I put the latter in 

a separate post. 

So lets get started!

The first two postcards you see here 

I received from Slovenia for the 

"your language" swap. 

This card came from Poland with a nice view on

Czartoryski Palace in Pulawy 

This card came from a German swapper but,

as you can see, this is a beautiful view on Hohensalzburg Castle

and Nonnberg Abbey, Salzburg, Austria

And to end with, this card from Midland, Texas, U.S.A.

Not from a swap but from my kind pen-friend who lives there.

From the back:

In 1880, the Texas Pacific Railroad began to lay tracks 

westward from Fort Worth at about the same time that 

the Soutern Pacific began building east from El Paso.

The place where the tracks met bacame known as Midway. 

Later, the name was changed to Midland when it was discovered 

that there was another Texas town by the same name. 

The Parmian Basin, of which Midland is the geographic center, 

is said to contain 25% of the nation's reserves.
