A Postcard A Day - Friday 28 February 2025 - Friday Smiles

 Hello lovely peeps, Here I am again. Time to share our smiles. (I have much to smile about).

Again I have a postcard for you and again there will be some funnies at the end.

This is postcard from Germany of the church on the Königssee. 

Wikipedia writes: The Königssee is a natural lake in the southeast Berchtesgadener Land district of the German state of Bavaria, near the Austrian border. Most of the lake is within the Berchtesgaden National Park.

The church is called St. Bartholomew's and according to Wikipedia it is a Roman Catholic pilgrimage church in the Berchtesgadener Land district of Bavaria in Germany. It is named after Saint Bartholomew the Apostle, patron of alpine farmers and dairymen. The church is located at the western shore of the Königssee lake, on the Hirschau peninsula. It can only be reached by ship or after a long hike across the surrounding mountains.

It was sent by someone who lives in Staufen in the SW of Germany. He showed on a little stamped map where both places are.

The most famous inhabitant of Staufen was Johann Georg Faust, who was the model for Goethe's masterpiece.

I'm on holiday in a resort called Matalascañas, near Huelva on the Atlantic coast of south west Spain. The hotel looks magnificent on the outside, 

but inside it is tired and a bit dated. 

The outside spaces are lovely though. Typical Ansalusian:

And there is a nice ceramic fountain outside the dining room:

I'm sharing a room with an older lady who has a bit of dementia so I would say it was not a good match really. She spends the day in our room watching telly. Fortunately the weather has been good until now and I have been out all the time.

The resort is deserted (Being out of season):

But the beach is spectacular and will be quite an attraction in the summer:

Apparently it's 8 km of beach.

I've made some new friends, one of whom took this picture.

Tomorrow is a national holiday: it's Andalucia Day. .Our Intercambio group has won an award, but I can't come to the gala to receive it. Instead I have been interviewed on the radio via the phone. That was slightly nerve racking, but the presenter was really nice and it went really well.

That is all from me tonight.

Of course there are funnies at the end for an extra giggle.

Have a lovely weekend,

Lisca
