Special Treat from Ribeira

Here is a lovely piece, the only postcard we have receivede from Spain and from the pen of Diana Pastoriza, our fellow postcrosser and the originator and prime mover of this inter-sections postcrossing project and collaboration at EOI Santiago. As usual, her words are too kind, and as lovely as the postcard itself.

Thanks a lot, Diana!!

Postcrossing Meetup (Received Cards): MIGUEL from PORTUGAL

We have received our third postcard! It was written by Miguel and comes from Viseu, in the north of Portugal.

Miguel sent us a nice postcard with the image of traditional Portuguese sardine tin cans. These canned foods were a typical industry in Galicia too.

And this is what Miguel had to tell us:

Thank you, Miguel, for your generosity in sending this card and sharing an intimate piece of yourself in your card too!
