postcard challenge

week 28 Germany.

in 1984 I took a trip to Germany, specifically to the town of Bad Urach. It was a school trip and we each stayed with a student. I stayed with a wonderful family, my exchange student was Christiane, she lived with her parent,brother and dog in an apartment underneath a local clinic.

This is where I stayed.

We spent a few days in their school, and had lots of day trips. We went to the cinema, swimming and ice skating, it really was a wonderful trip.

I was  a bit of a womble, even back then, and managed to fill a photo album and a scrapbook with tickets,receipts,leaflets,bags and various other bits of tat. So i rummaged through those for this weeks card.

For my page I used a copy of the newspaper article about us visiting the town. I also found a beer mat and some beer bottle caps in my scrapbook, but they were well stuck in, so i just had to drink a new bottle to get the labels and cap.

The circled area in the middle is where I am stood.

For my card I used one of the original cards that I bought all those years ago, this shows the town that we stayed in.

I had a great time looking through the photos and 'stuff' in the scrapbook, brought back good memories.
