A postcard gives a friend a glimpse of your trip.

The idea

Greet your reader, describe the place, mention what you did or plan to do, and sign your name.

Examples

  • The village is beside the sea.
  • The streets are quiet and colourful.
  • Yesterday we visited a small market.
  • We ate fresh fish for lunch.
  • Tomorrow we are walking in the hills.
  • I wish you were here!
