I like the idea of traveling to Europe by ship instead of by plane too. It's not the norm these days, but I guess it can be done. I'll just dust off my steamer trunks.
The first card doesn't have a message on the back, but the second one does. Edith sent this card to Mr. and Mrs. W. Abbott in Chicago in 1930. Here's her message:
7-29
Dear Folks -
This is some town - and I don't mean maybe. Will have to have a good memory to remember all we have seen - Hope to get our tickets to sail tomorrow - oh, for a calm sea -
Love to all -
Edith

Paris is great any time you visit -- I've been there is all four seasons and love them all. Great postcards. Just think of all the souvenirs you could bring home in a steamer trunk!
ReplyDeleteI think I've travelled to Europe more by cross channel ferry/hoverspeed and then train rather than flying. I didn't go back 100 years to do it either ;). I always liked long distance train travel apart from having to haul my own luggage on and off.
ReplyDeleteLovely postcards.
Paris, great and expensive city...There's a Paris in Virginia, with some 124 residents. Not nearly as [whatever].
ReplyDeleteLovely anytime, I would imagine. I was there in spring and summer, but can't imagine a time that wouldn't be right.
ReplyDeleteI was there but two weeks ago and had a wonderful time. My first time there was a bit rushed, so this visit I was able to relax and get into the zeitgeist. And the catacombs!
ReplyDeleteamazing post! u've done really excellent job!! thanks a lot for sharing with us.
ReplyDeleteI must confess that I do find Paris a little loud and a little over-powering. Perhaps I need time to wander around the place and get used to it - but whenever I have been it has always been for short periods.
ReplyDelete"This is some town and I don't mean maybe." That has got to be the funniest description of Paris that I've ever read!!!ha!!!:)
