#148

Received: March 27th, 2014
From: Anja (Booischot, Belgium)
Depicts: Views from Antwerp, Belgium

Anja and I exchanged cards once before (when she sent me one of the most beautiful cards I have!) and we both agreed to keep exchanging, and since the postal service in Belgium apparently works beautifully, I got this card only three days after Anja said she'd send it to me! Antwerp is another place I haven't visited yet, but that I've heard a lot about - I remember perfectly that the first time I heard about was in 7th grade, when we were reading "The Danish Knight" by the Portuguese writer Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen, and then I heard a lot about it in the following years in my History classes. And now I get a card from there with beautiful, beautiful buildings! Can I pack my bags and go there now, please? And Anja also recommended other cities for me to visit: Gent and Brugge! So now I have four on my "wishlist", with Brussels there too!
