St. Gallen has ancient roots dating back to Saint Gallus. Gallus was an Irish missionary and hermit who established himself by the river Steinach in 612. A monastery on the site was founded in c720 by Saint Othmar. It prospered in the 9th century and became a site of pilgrimage and a centre of trade, along with one of the first monastery schools north of the Alps. By the 10th century, a settlement had grown up around the abbey.  In 926, Magyar raiders attacked the abbey and surrounded the town. Saint Wiborada reportedly saw a vision of the impending attack and warned the monks and citizens to flee. They heeded her call, but she herself remained behind and was killed by the Magyar's.

Alice's Restaurant was once a general store and the first commercial building in Sky Londa. During the 1960s the restaurant was bought by one Alice Taylor, who renamed the restaurant after herself. Motorcyclists, hikers, and tourists made Alice's Restaurant a must stop. It was bought in the 1870s and has been family owned and operated every since. It is still a popular destination for motorcyclists and bicycle riders in the spring and summer.  The family that bought the restaurant in the 1970s kept the name Alice's Restaurant as a homage to Arlo Guthrie's song Alice's Restaurant .  Here are the lyrics to Alice's Restaurant: Lyrics This song is called Alice's Restaurant, and it's about Alice, and the restaurant, but Alice's Restaurant is not the name of the restaurant, that's just the name of the song, and that's why I called the song Alice's Restaurant.

The sender said I might enjoy the Cajun humour on this card. Cajuns are usually described as the descendants of the Acadian exiles who were deported during   Le Grand Dérangement - Acadian forced deportations from Nova Scotia. People in Louisiana frequently use Cajun as a broad cultural term without necessitating race or descent from the deported Acadians. French colonists were already living in Louisiana prior to the Acadian deportation. However, most Acadians can trace their ancestry back to approximately 50 families who were living in Port Royal, Acadia (now Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia) in 1671. Most Cajuns can trace their ancestry to areas in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island,  Québec , and Maine.  Cajuns have become famous for their French dialect and have developed rich culture including folkways, music, and cuisine.
