"Dear Brother, the Gasteinerfall in Salzburg was fabulous! It's amazing how muddy it was and how many rocks were going down the stream. I don't remember about being pelted by small rocks and mud in the guidebooks, and for some reason all the shops were closed. Highly recommend the mud waterfall here!" #PostcardsFromTheAnthropocene #flooding #Salzburg #Gasteinerfall #tourism

"Dear Mom, Frankfurt Airport is so innovative! They have turned their escalators into waterfalls! I hear they are going to stock tropical fish in the lobby." #frankfurt #airport #flooding #PostcardsFromTheAnthropocene

Hi, mom. Having a grand time at the World Scout Jamboree.

(imagined) "Dear Sis: We've been here in Milan for a week, taking a vacation to Italy was a great idea! Unfortunately the Sforza Castle was closed, it was SOOO frustrating they wouldn't open it for us. And they have such poor tree trimming here, there were trees all over the sidewalk. Plus, their city council really needs to work on street drainage. Wish you were here!" #PostcardsFromTheAnthropocene

"Dear Sis, our holiday to Greece has been wonderful! Due to circumstances beyond our control, we've had to change where we are staying, as the hotel burnt down. But we've met so many wonderful people at our alternative accommodations! Even better, our new place has a basketball court!

The new Chinese Hot Pot restaurant down in the bomb shelter -- they had to move there temporarily due to the heat--was the we ever had!
