Monte Carlo Monaco Travel Postcard Hotels

Monte Carlo Monaco Vintage Travel Postcard with Hotels

After my blog entry about the TAG Heuer Watches, I started thinking a little about good old Monaco and the Formula One Weekend.

Below you'll find a neat Travel postcard from Monte Carlo Monaco showing the port area which is an important part of the Monaco Grand Prix Circuit. Of course the harbor side has changed since the 60s when this pic was taken but the card shows the steeply rising road running up from turn 2 on the GP course. See links below for hotels and more modern pictures of all the main turns in the Grand Prix Street Course (when there is no race) Interesting, no?

Travel Postcard Chicago Wrigley Field

Vintage 1940's linen postcard of Chicago's Wrigley Field Ballpark

I'm real tactile, so vintage linen post-cards like this are just too lovely, and you can see the linen texture from the scan. The back reads. "Wrigley Field bears the name of William Wrigley, founder of the famous gum manufacturing company. It is the home of the Cubs, Chicago's National League Baseball Club" Since I found it on ebay (price today was $10.00 - see lnk details below) it qualifies as a gift idea as well as a travel snapshot for this project - hint to kids.
