Unusual countries in the mailbox

These countries are not usual guests in our mailbox - to be honest this is the first written and stamped card I've ever received from Trinidad and Tobago. I used to have a pen pal from there, but we lost the contact over the years which is sad. This card is great, though. I've got more cards from Mexico, but it's still something "special" to receive.

Nämä maat eivät ole kovin yleisiä postilaatikossamme - itse asiassa tämä on ensimmäinen kirjoitettu, postimerkillä varustettu kortti, jonka olen ikinä saanut Trinidad ja Tobagosta (maan nimi muuten jäi mieleen jo alakoululaisena, kun katselin Simo Frangénin luotsaamaa Matka maailman ympäri -TV-ohjelmaa - T&T:sta oli vissiin aika usein kysymyksiä tarjolla!). Vuosia sitten minulla oli maasta myös kirjekaveri, mutta yhteydenpito on vuosien varrella katkennut. Harmi. Tämä kortti on kuitenkin tosi upea. Meksikosta olen saanut postia ennenkin, mutten kuitenkaan niin usein, etteikö leima postimerkissä kiinnittäisi huomiotani.

Pretty, prettier, received postcards

Happy All Saints' Day!

I'll spend mine with postcards, an exciting crime novel - and will also bake a chocolate-cheesecake, yummy.

This has been a crazy mail week, and adding all the wonderful pieces of mail into one entry wouldn't do right to them... So here's the first bunch, enjoy!
