Stop 53 - San Bruno (USA)

Our last postcard was sent to San Bruno, in California (United States of America), 8836 kilometers away!



The postcard was sent to Vicki. We have already sent a postcard to her, but because of some mistake in giving directions, we are sending her another one. This one was written by Daniel Gándara, an Advanced 2 student who wrote on a postcard featuring a painting by Alfonso Costa: it is a sort of angel blowing a trumpet over a conch shell.


































Thanks, Daniel!

Postcrossing Meetup (Received Cards): CORINNE from FRANCE

This postcard was sent to us from France. It was sent by Corinne, who lives in Bayonne, 603 kilometers away!


On the card we can see some of the colourful houses that lie in front of the seaside in the city of Bayonne. You can read more about the place here.


The back of the card is written in Spanish (one of the languages our writer knows), and tells us about the town. It also comes with lovely stamps of a bird and some monuments.


Merçi, Corinne!

On the back, Victor tells Frida a lot of things about his job (archeologist), his studies and some historical landmarks of the Barbanza peninsula.


Thanks, Victor!

Postcrossing Meetup (Received Cards): MILLA from FINLAND

This postcard was sent to us from Finland. It was sent by Milla, who lives in Helsinki, 2980 kilometers away!


On the card we can see a funny cartoon strip with two sharks talking about a 'fin' (and therefore, a shark) they have just seen. One of them is afraid until he realizes he is a shark himself. Hilarious!


On the back, Milla tells us a few things about herself: she is an 11-year old girl who loves animals. Especially rats (wow!), of which she owns four.



Kiitos, Milla!

Stop 49 - Foshan (China)

Our last postcard was sent to Foshan, in Guangdong province, China, 10607 kilometers away!


The postcard was sent to Ruihong Deng.  He contacted us through a postcrossing message requesting a direct swap from us, and we have obliged his request. Our card was sent by Laura Martínez Yañez, who is from Miñortos, so the card she sent doesn't have a view of Noia: rather, it shows an air view of Porto do Son.



Thanks, Laura!

Thanks, Leticia!
