1935. Los Angeles, California
Hi Chris. Greetings from Los Angeles, a city famous for its warm weather and bad traffic. I was so happy to receive your contact info since I am also a retired teacher (K/1) and reading specialist. It's always been a dream of mine to work at a library. In fact, years ago I took an interest inventory and I scored really high as a librarian. Like you I am fond of reading and am never without a book. Have you ever visited the website Goodreads? It's a wonderful resource for people who like to read. Have you ever read Vacationaland by John Hodgman? Lots of reference to you native Maine! Take care, Mia

Hello Chris, Greetings from sunny San Diego. I'm giving this another shot, since my fierst card has gone missing. I love cryptozoology too :} ,,, such a classic American thing. I like to travel, cook, swim, red, go to museums, concerts, plays and escape rooms, spend time outdoors and learn new things. Wishing you a full mailbox! Sue G.
1352. Marin County, CalforniaWelcome to Marin County, California! One of California's original 27 counties, Marin County has a rich history filled with both cultural and political extremes. Although providing much of the lumber for the massive rebuilding following the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, Marin is currently known more for its liberals than for its logging. With almost 75% of the county as protected and public land, and given its proximity to the SF Bay Area, it's easy to see where Mountain Biking, hippie-ism and granola consumption largely came from. Political views aside, Marin County is home to a seemingly infinite number of trails, forests, beaches, waterfalls, views, main streets, and many other settings in which to simply enjoy being alive. At least that's what I've found...I hope you do too!

Greetings from sunny San Diego, California! The artist behind this card is the husband of one of our local Postcrossers - we have a fun group which has a meeting twice a year. I'm an attorney with 3 adult children, so I feel like I'm finally hitting my stride in terms of having time for friends and hobbies ... in addition to our postcrossing group, I'm in a book club, a cookbook club (www. unreadable) and loe to play cards and board games with friends. Best wishes, Sue G.

Hello. I live in Los Angeles and while this is a very old picture, this park is still there. I live in a city called Palos Verdes, it is on the coast but I go to downtown Los Angeles often. It used to be a bad city but now it is very nice. 3/16/18

Hello from Lompoc, California! I live in a small city by the coast. My friend Autumn just started teaching this year - 6th grade! She loves it so far. My hat is off to teachers. Education is so important or we become idiocracy. Sometimes I fear we're already too far gone. We'll see. Shelby

569. Lompoc, California
Hello from Lompoc, California! I live in a small city by the coast. Right now I am watching the Patriots demolish the Texans, and as much as I hate the Patriots, I have to respect Bill Bellichick (the Patriots' coach) for being such a football mastermind. He can win with a 3rd string rookie QB. Blows my mind how good the Patriots are. But I hate them ! LOL
Happy Postcrossing, Shelby
525. "Open Happiness" Sacramento, CA
Hello there!
Well, instead of sending some generic landscape of the country you already know, I decided to send you something you like to drink! Yeah, I know there are no "diet", but hopefully you'll make an exception this time. I also used to teach 4th graders. They are so funny!
Happy postcrossing, Leo

Solvang, California
Nestled in the Santa Ynez Valley is the beautiful town of Solvang. Unique architecture, gift shops, and bakeries are just some of the attractions to the area enjoyed by many visitors every year. (cag note: I've been here 3 times, once with Laura, once with Dede, and once alone)
Hi Chris,
this is a great little town that is about two hours north of me. We explored the bakeries and found some great treats. There were wine tasting rooms, fun gift shops, and even some outlet stores.
Best wishes, Susan

Hello Chris! I love San Diego. I go there every year for Comic.Con in July. It's a very nice city to host all the geeks that come for the convention!
San Francisco Bay Bridge
Linking San Francisco and Metropolitan Oakland, in California, is the longest bridge in the wrl - extreme length, including approachers is 8 1/4 miles. One pier of the bridge is 242 feet high, equivalent to a 20-story building. (cag note: this is an old postcard, I wonder what bridge/s top those statistics at this point in time?)
Lake Tahoe
The crystal clear waters of this spectacular lake reflect the snow-capped peaks that surround the lake.
Hi Chris. When we lived in northern CA we went to Tahoe several times. Every time I was amazed at how blue the water is! Barb

Santa Ana, California
Hey Chris! Is it as hot in Arizona right now as it is here in Cali? Probably hotter than here, huh? And since summer is just starting, it will just get worse. Not much to say about my city, save it has plenty of Asian restaurants, from a Korean BBQ to Japanese sushi houses and Chinese buffets and Vietnamese Pho noodle shops. I enjoy eating food from different cultures, tried Mediterranean today with a friend. Jennifer
