But what does it say?
I find this oddly compelling ... and somewhat reminiscent of "BEAN" dorms at the U of O.
Hard to read, but something like:
Dear Donna
Je veux te dire [[hi]]
Comment ca va? Le tournai de tennis a cemmence mais je ne sais pas qui le gagne. Mes cours sont bons mais j'uime mieux ceux d'education parceque je peux visiter les classes dans les ecoles primaires - ca im interesse cette carte montre un chambre d'ren homme. Je te l'envoie porceque tu dois voir comment nous vivons (c'est propre, n'est-ce pas?)
a bientot,
Pierre
Dear Donna -
I want to say "hi." How are you doing? The tennis tournament started but I don't know who won it. My classes are good, but I like the education ones the best because I can go to see the classes in the primary schools - that's what interests me. This card shows a men's dorm room. I'm sending it to you because you should see how we live (it's clean, isn't it?)
Later,
Pierre

Thanks, Michael - I was curious about the text. Boring as it is ...
Chanson de la route américaine, avec Elizabeth!!!
