Okay before youre like whoa this chick is crazy , I only need the answers to OCT.1 and OCT. 3 . I got the rest myself but im completely stuck on these two . Theyre also the two that have the two "**" before the date . Today, the first cards have arrived. After supper, your neighbors gather outside and start passing the cards around. You and Pat take a look at them. There are no pictures! One side of each is blank except for an address. The other side has a handwritten message, but no cities or countries are named. From what city and country did the Wiltons write each postcard? Hint: Use an atlas and encyclopedia to find the answers. A dictionary might help too. The cards read as follows: Sept 12: Hi, everybody! Guess where we are? That's right, we want you to guess. Here's a clue: We've spent two days in the largest city of this island country. Must dash-Big Ben says it's time for lunch! Sept 14: What country are we in now? A really beautiful one. We sailed through a fjord and hiked on a glacier yesterday. Now we're in the capital, once named after King Christian IV. Sept 18: Traveled south and arrived today in the town associated closely with Hans Christian Andersen. Weather here a bit rainy, but we're having too much fun to care! Sept 22: Just flew to this place on the Main River; it's Hesse's largest city. We enjoyed touring the Romer, a town hall built in the 1400s! Sept 23: Now have firsthand proof that the Jungfrau is the loveliest mountain in the Alps. Right now, we're in the capital of this country. Sept 24: Through Brenner Pass to Europe's leading cultural center. Breathtaking city! Also home of Johann Strauss, Jr., and the waltz. Sept 26: Gondolas are the way to go! Most of the people living here use motorboats, though. Right now, we're taking a break in the Piazza San Marco. **Oct 1: We're starting the last leg of our trip. Good thing! We're on our last legs! We sailed between Corsica and Sardinia to this Mediterranean port in the second-largest country in Western Europe. We're about 75 miles south of the French border, but we're not in France! **Oct 3: Spending our last day in western-most country of continental Europe. We fly home from its capital tonight. See you soon! From what city and country did the Wiltons write each postcard? Hint: Use an atlas and encyclopedia to find the answers. A dictionary might help too... Read More »
