Mar del Plata, Hotel Provincial, Casino y Rambla
A stately view of this seaside resort on a very old, unused card 543. The card is notably aging, not unlike the hotel itself–based on online reviews, a recent one of which says the property would be perfect for a murder mystery. The name of the hotel now, by the way, is the NH Gran Hotel Provincial. Grade: 2

Cerro Lopez
Here’s a contemporary description of Cerro Lopez now, lifted from an online source: “Cerro Lopez is Bariloche’s most famous alpine peak, visible from town, access is easy via public transportation, a good trail leads to a mountain hut at the base of the climb, and a climber’s trail continues to the summit ridge which offers fantastic views in all directions. Although it is a very touristic peak, a trip to Cerro Lopez is deservedly one of Bariloche’s classic mountain experiences.” The card is much older, with stamp and postmark and a wonderful address yet the card was delivered anyway. Grade: 1
