Let's close this November journal with a quiz. 
I've stuck 9 picture postcards on my pinboard - can you identify the cities?

I'm stumped. I thought 1 was London but it seems not. But then I always was useless at geography.

8 is Los Angeles. And I thought I knew others until your clue that they were alphabetical. It's another day for a dunce cap.

My guess was that 7 was Venice, but otherwise, I'm clueless. 
Really good pics, though.
