A postcard from Brazil

Well, he's off on his travels again - this mysterious Y character. Somehow he's gone from Vienna to the wilds of the Amazon. What a crazy agenda this man has... What do you think he's doing there?

Well, X won't be finding out any time soon, if the contents of this card are anything to go by (and no, she can't speak Portuguese, but she can at least spell it!).

If all this is baffling you, you might like to check out the back story... such as it is...

Postcard 3 for the Postcard challenge.

  13. hi lisa :)
    i haven't commented in so long, i'm a quiet lurker lately i guess :)
    just wanted to let you know i've been reading and looking - just being quiet i guess
    sometimes its easier to pop in for a quick read and a peek at the art :D
    but i'm still here. quietly stalking. in the non creepy way.
