OFFICIAL Card - Netherlands

Today I received this card from Norbert.  While it doesn't have a date on it, it certainly seems vintage to me and is a picture of Queen Margrethe II of Denmark. She has been the Monarch since 1972 and is currently 71 years old.

Norbert sent it in an envelope so that is why it may appear to have minimal "travel lines". With it he included the front page of his local newspaper just for fun. While I can't read a word of Dutch it is interesting to see just how different it looks from ours. First, it is much wider and second on two pages there is only one advertisement. Ours would have had too many more! The stamps he chose were all new to me, the numbers especially are fun. One he explains dates back to 1991 (pre-Euro) and features a Nobel Prize winning Chemist.

Also, today two of the cards I sent on Monday - one to Germany and the other to Italy were both received. Never ceases to amaze me that a postcard can travel halfway around the world in 4 days!
