Postcard of the Week 2

Lighthouses around the world are tourist destinations. They no longer have much reason to exist for navigation purposes but we still love them. We visited Nubble Light and took the picture featured below the fold after we bought this postcard at LL Bean in Freeport, Maine. In Maine we had a great visit with Jim and Lynne. Life is good.

Winston Says

After he retired Winston Churchill was cruising the Mediterranean on an Italian ship. When asked why he chose an Italian ship he replied: “There are three things I like about being on an Italian cruise ship. First, their cuisine is unsurpassed. Second, their service is superb. And then, in time of emergency, there is none of this nonsense about women and children first.”

Schoner Hut

“Always Well Protected”
Stets Wohl Behutet

This postcard is a reprint of an ad for a German Hat Company. According to Susi the sender it is a play in German on the similarity between the words Hut/hat and Behutet/protected. I would guess it is from the 1950s.
