> [@Emily\_Litella](#): > > I received a nice postcard from **Waxwinged** of the Biltmore Estate. I want to live there! True Fact: I actually performed there as part of a choral group one Christmas season back in College. We would give a 45-minute performance, tour the estate for 45 minutes, sing for another 45, tour for another 45, etc. Awesome acoustics in the indoor marble Gazebo area. . . . ---

wowsers, wowsers Having travelled +/- 9772 miles, recieved today a postcard from DBYGAWDCAPN, thank you! A photo self portrait maybe, if DBYGAWDCAPN actually was a cat in a 70ā€™s childrens sci-fi show. Cute and kinda spooky. ---

Just realized I hadnā€™t acknowledged my last two cards: interesting Christmas postcard from **Waxwinged** and scary šŸ˜ƒ gator card from **VunderBob**. Glad you liked the card, **Nayna**. Itā€™s really a lovely park. There are are a couple of other nearby attractions that you can package with a visit: [the Columbus Museum of Art](http://www.columbusmuseum.org/) (itā€™s being renovated right now, but they have an awesome Chihuly exhibit thatā€™s here until July 4) is a couple blocks away and the [Franklin Park Conservatory](http://fpconservatory.org/) is up the street (maybe a couple miles). There are a bunch of other things to see and do. [Hereā€™s a recent article](http://www.buffalonews.com/2010/05/16/1051955/discovering-columbus.html) that does a nice job of describing some places to visit and includes restaurant recommendations. ---

Thatā€™s 2 of 3 sent, with the 1 remaining going overseas; Iā€™m 1 of 3 on the receiving side, and I know for sure one of the outstanding cards is in transit, also from overseas. ---

**gardentraveler** , thank you! Youā€™re like my own personal Columbus travel agent. My daughter and I visit a different city each year, and it looks like Columbus is in for 2010! **melodyharmonius** , I may be wrong, but I think one postcard of mine has been received. I have received two. ---
