It has been awhile since I have posted one of my postcrossing postcards so here is the next postcard. Vilnius is not only the largest city in Lithuania but it is also the capital. There are more than 40 churches in Vilnius. In 1995, the world's first bronze cast of Frank Zappa was installed in one of the Vilnius neighborhoods.

Thanks for sharing your postcard. Postcrossing is such a great way to learn about the world. I didn't have any idea who Frank Zappa was - but now I do!! (But why on earth is his statue in Lithuania!!??) His children have very strange names.

40 churches! wow.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a really nice card. I haven't received one in a while. Of course I also just finally sent out four the other day that I had been putting off...
ReplyDelete... Looks like, too, that I have one that got lost in the mail. :(
