Ann from Spokane sends a Haleakalā National Park card. Haleakalā is found on the island of Maui in Hawai'i. A dormant volcano is within the boundaries of the park. There is a visitor's centre at 2970 m. The Haleakalā Observatory is also located near the visitor centre. It experiences excellent viewing conditions and very clear skies. One of the observatory's jobs is the Maui Space Surveillance System, which tracks satellites and debris orbiting the Earth.
Mölln is a small city of about 20 000 located in northern Germany. The Elbe-Lübeck Canal flows through the town, and there are eight small lakes that surround the city. It was founded in the 12th century and was a part of the Old Salt Route. Salt that was produced in the salt mines of Lower-Saxony was shipped to the Baltic Sea. Till Eulenspiegel, a legendary trickster known for exposing vices and provoking thought, is said to have lived in Mölln the last year of his life. He apparently died of the plague in 1350, but his existence has never been proven. Mölln has several monuments dedicated to him.
