Jackpot!! We received 8 postcards in 2 days!!

Wow!  Between yesterday and today,  Jack and I received 8 postcards in the mail!!

I was very excited to see that there were so many! 

My first one was from New Zealand...

It is a beautiful ship, a replica of the Endeavour, the ship that Captain Cook was on when he first sighted New Zealand in 1769!  The woman who sent it, coincidentally, lived here in Connecticut for a year as an AFS student only about 20 minutes away from where I live!  Her host parents are now visiting New Zealand, getting away from the cold New England weather!!  What a small world!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We received 3 from one woman in Greece!  She said she couldn't decide what we'd like the best, so she sent all 3!!  How cool is that??

This one says Vue De La Ville D'Athenes...

I love it...it is hand drawn and shows a scene of long ago!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This one is in Peloponnese...it's the statue of Nikitaras, a famous revolutionary during the Greek revolution against the Turkish People. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is from one of the numerous islands in the Aegean Sea...it's current population is 2,000!  Maybe they wouldn't mind a couple of more people??  It's beautiful!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our next one is from Portugal!

It's from Aveiro, a city in the north of Portugal near the sea.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next one was sent to my son Jack who is also collecting postcards!

It's from Belgium!!

How cute is that??  It's from a graphic design student in Aarschot, a small town in Belgium.  She said that it's been very cold and there is a lot of snow!!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Another card for Jack came in today from Canada!  Well, the man from Canada was on vacation in Seattle, Washington, so he sent it from there!

He is actually from Sudbury, which is north of Toronto, Ontario!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

And our last one from today is also Jacks....

from Switzerland!!

It's Felix the rabbit, who delivers mail all over the world!!  I love this card, it's so cute, and what a perfect subject...delivering mail!!  :)

Jack really enjoyed the giraffe on it, and thought it was pretty funny that a rabbit could ride a bike!
