Delay...

Due to the fact that the scanner at my work doesn't work anymore... I didn't update this blog for more than a month. I have still 13 cards waiting for you but a lot of them are not on my computer yet because the scanner is still death... Maybe I will upload firstly the cards who are scanned for me by the sender, and then I will find a solution to show you the other ones I received. Just have a little patience!

Its continuous growth, linked to the sea (the Romans gave it the name Portus, or port), can be seen in the many and varied monuments, from the cathedral with its Romanesque choir, to the neoclassical Stock Exchange and the typically Portuguese Manueline-style Church of Santa Clara.

Last month I received my first card from... Belgium ! And...it was send by the no 4 postcrosser of Belgium! It has travelled a distance of 139 kms in 6 days! It shows the Grand Place of Bruxelles, which is an UNESCO site as well! So I'm very happy with this card. I have been in Bruxelles for the last time in 2006 so it reminds me of the fact that I have to go back to see more of the city.



La Grand-Place in Brussels is a remarkably homogeneous body of public and private buildings, dating mainly from the late 17th century. The architecture provides a vivid illustration of the level of social and cultural life of the period in this important political and commercial centre.
