A Real Photo Postcard from Frognerseteren, Norway (Xania, Oslo)

1084 - Fra.  Frognerseteren. 
This vintage, real photo postcard was postmarked in 1907.
I believe this is the restaurant that is still open today.  The oldest part of the restaurant opened in 1891.  
It is still known for serving people who are snow skiing.

I can not make out the photographers mark, but looks something like, 'XANIA'. 
I looked up Xania and found this.... 
“Xania” is a historic abbreviation or alternate spelling for Kristiania, the former name of Oslo, Norway.

Bullfighting in Spain

Bullfighting in Espana (Spain)

I have been learning Spanish, and can translate this!  I had to look up two words, one I thought I knew (and was correct)...

You are 931 miles away from me (written at the top).
Hello, My name is Allison and I live in New York but I am from Texas.  I visit Spain and Mexico often. I see you are learning Spanish. I wish you the best of luck learning Spanish.  This postcard is of Andalusia (in Spain).  I am getting married in Seville in April (I had to look up that one). Andalusia is my favorite region of Spain.  I recommend you visit Seville.  

This postcard was mailed in 2026.
