Postcards from Athens
I came across this entry over at The Blogging Baby that was titled Teaching a child geography, one postcard at a time. Apparently the idea for the entry came from an entry that they found on RedHairedGirl.com (which for the life of me I cant find). Anyway, the basis of the entry was that postcards can be a good way to teach people about geography.
I recall a former principal I had when I was still a high school teacher, who when he would travel anywhere would buy a postcard that pictured the hotel that he was staying at and send it back to his kids (he had five of them). When I asked him about it, he had said that it was his hope that when they gew up that they wouldn't remember the fact that he was gone a lot, but they would remember the fact that he always thought of them when he was gone.
In keeping with that spirit, since we have moved to Athens and I have started attended the University of Georgia, I have always sent postcards to both sets of my grandparents when Lisa and I have travelled outside of Athens. Just as a way to let them know that I'm thinking of them (as I am quite close with them).
So, here's a couple of postcards of Athens for everyone to enjoy: Sanford Stadium - the home field of the University of Georgia Bulldogs football team, and UGA VI - English bulldog and proud mascot of the University of Georgia.
