Today's postcard hunt theme is the color red.
I received this card of Amsterdam's famous red light district via Postcrossing.
It is one of the best cards I have received, largely due to the message from the sender, who lives in Belgium:
"I bought this card in Amsterdam. My sister lives there (she followed her love there). We. wanted to send a card to our nieces who were at camp with the youth movement. We found one in the style of van Gogh. And we searched for another one in the same style. We found this one (we were in a hurry). At home we realised by looking at it more closely, it was an adult card. We never sent it to camp!"

I love the message :)
ReplyDeleteIt made me laugh
DeleteThat's a great message 😺
ReplyDeleteI didn't notice the adult nature of the card until after I read the message!
DeleteHa! That's a great message! I'm surprised the sender actually mailed it to a stranger on Postcrossing! Of course, I had to look at it full screen! It's perfect for the prompt, you got double reds.
ReplyDeleteI had to look at the card now carefully when I received it, like the sender, I didn't notice at first
DeleteGreat postcard. And the message, like you said, makes it even better.
ReplyDeleteWe also had a brief, fun exchange via postcrossing's direct messaging after it arrived, where we wondered if anyone at camp would have even realized
DeleteI'm glad he sent this to you - complete with the story!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I came across this for today, it is an entertaining story
DeleteHilarious. I do like a backstory.
ReplyDeleteLike the time when I was a teenager and my mum bought me boxer shorts with elephants on, not noticing what the elephants were doing until they were washed and dried :) She was mortified.
