France 03

I visited to Louvre Musee, Paris on 11 October, 1998. It was my very first time visit to Paris, and I looked at the Mona Lisa (the painting of Leonardo da Vinci) in the muzeum..... honestly, I wasn't quite impressed by the small painting........ By the way, I sent myself this postcard from Paris showing the Pyramid entrance to the Louvre Musee. Postmark date: 12 October, 1998.

France 01

It was a cold autumn in 1998.......... ten years ago..... I set my foot on the land of France....... I must admit that France, particularly Paris, is a romantic place to visit. On 11 October 1998, I climbed up the Eiffel Tower...... the wind was strong and cold as I still remember vividly. There is a mini post office up at the tower, and I didn't forget to send myself a postcard from the tower. It is a good thought of the mini post office to have its own hand stamp postmark...... all the mail posted at the mini post office would be hand stamped using the specially designed postmark of the tower.
