My German philatelic
friend-005 "The postcards sent in tour" |
| |
| Mr. Chilian likes tour very much, he and his family
almost go to abroad a few time for tour by car every year, Austria,
Switzerland, France, Italy.....The tour become an important part in
his live. He is even more relaxed after retired this year. In September
2004, He started his bus tour of America and Canada for 15 days with
his wife. Mr. Chilian had worked 13 years in America when he is young,
this tour both to remember past times and for his wife (She only gone
to west coast of America, this time they will go to east coast ).
They fly from Munchen to New York directly, then start their visit
by a organized bus. First Philadelphia, then Washington, Buffalo (Niagara
Falls), then enter Canada and go to Toronto, Ottawa, Montrael, Quebec
back to USA to New Hampshire (White mountains) to Boston and back
to NYC. Whole journey is about 4000 KM and more ten cities. This is
a well-knit programme. But Mr Chilian doesn't forget his philately
activity. He continuously sent the postcards from one city to other
city. He said in a E-mail: "As always my first visit is always
a post office and this time all employees of the post were very cooperative
and friendly - that`s how I got all the stamps and very good cancellations". This is a very good idea and custom, if you
form this habit from young, you will get a huge fortune, philatelic,
cultural, historical, spirited...... Below are some mail he
sent: |

| In June 2005. Mr. Chilian sent 2 postcards from Arco
of Italy. The images of postcards are scene beside the Garda lake.
I have known he have an old friend in Arco, he and his family often
go to there about every year for vacation. the scene and environment
in these pictures are extreme charming. I once visited other mountain
city Bergamo on the foot of the Alps where is about 100 KM distant
in west side from Garda lake in July 1994 for business. The air is
such pure and fresh, gladdening the heart and refreshing the mind,
the streets, buildings almost are spotlessly clean, the fresh flowers
was draped in windowsill. People who are live here are so happiness!
If only the people of worldwide all would live like this life in the
future! |

I once visited is in west of the lake |
