Greetings from Belgium - Direct Swap with Beatrice

Some countries of the "Greetings from..." series are a bit of a needle in a haystack. Several people have the card, however I am looking for the country and stamp to match which adds another layer to making a swap. I was happy when Beatrice responded to my post as Belgium isn't a country with many Postcrossers. The fact that stuck out for me was that Audrey Hepburn was from Belgium, I didn't know that, but now I do! Thank you Beatrice!

OFFICIAL Card - Belgium

I have received a few cards from Belgium now but somehow whenever I do I always think it is my first!?! This great multi-view came last week from Kathleen. She wrote telling me she lives in north Brussels and is a 15 minute walk from the Atomium. I remember when this was in The Amazing Race! She decorated it with some super sweet (and glittery!) stickers too! I love when the views are labelled like this, much easier than trying to track them down via Google.

OFFICIAL Card - Belgium

Yesterday I received this card from Vivi. I tried three times to upload it and every time I did the power blipped off shutting down the computer. Fourteen hours and five inches of snow later and I am back in business.

Vivi sent me this card from her home country of Greece, is shows a view of Santorini at night. She writes me that she is currently working in Brussels, Belgium and that her favourite food is green beans. She's right - that isn't a food I would expect someone to answer!

OFFICIAL Card - Belgium

Nine days ago Raquel sent me this card from Brussels, my first one from that country. Raquel is the top Postcrosser in Belgium  having sent a staggering 4,800+ cards! I love the night views like this, it makes the architecture and buildings look so magical, so old and to me so important. We really don't have anything quite like this in Canada. The bird stamps she used are really nice too, all in all this is a great card!
