#119

Received: March 12th, 2014
From: Bruno (Dubrovnik, Croatia)
Depicts: Views from Dubrovnik

I proposed the swap to Bruno and he kindly accepted and sent me this beautiful postcard of the old town of Dubrovnik during winter time (see the snow?). He also told me that Dubrovnik has a population of about 35k people and has been once an independent state called Republic of Ragusa, until the French occupation in January 1808. The town has been part of the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites, which I believe it fully deserves - even though I've never been there, unfortunately.
