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,
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

The outside of that hotel is amazing. And wow to the beach too. But the biggest wow is how your group won an award and how you were interviewed. Congrats, Enjoy your visit. hugs-Erika
Really beautiful outside of the hotel.
Sad you have that "room-mate". Dementia is no fun to deal with. Hope the weather stays well.
Awww, the beach!
Love the life hack...
Have a great weekend and holiday.
My son is the vicar at St Bartholomew's church in Sydenham, Kent. It is a lovely old stone church but nothing like as pituresque as the one on your card.
I hope you ae enjoying your holiday even if it hasn't quite lived up to expectations. I love the ceramic fountain.
Well done to your Intercambio group's award. It is cold and wet here for Andalucía Day, but most of the celebrations take place in the big marquee on the plaza, so I am sure it will all be fine. Kate x
Looks like you’re having a wonderful holiday….regardless of your room mate. Love the funnies.
Hugs,

I bet they thought of all the people in the group you would be the most understanding for this lady with dementia, not that it makes it any easier. Good collection of funnies, love the drawer one as this happens to me regularly but I think my words are much worse than "this damn drawer"! Have a good weekend. Hugs Angela xXx
So very nice to see your smiling face. Bless you friend Aloha
