Three new ones in, via Postcrossing & swap-bot:
The Long Beach comes to me from Tofino, on the west coast of Vancouver Island, in British Columbia, Canada. Knowing from my Postcrossing profile that I enjoy being near the ocean, the sender tells me, “if no one has mentioned it to you before, let me tell you that you should check out this beautiful corner of the earth if you ever get a chance!”
The old-timey gas-station scene came to me thanks to a swap-bot recycled postcard swap, and it was sent by a user in Brooklyn, New York, who says she loves the vintage billboards in the background. Now, as far as I can tell–and yes, I dissected the thing–this was not a recycled postcard (we are supposed to slap a new back on a card we’ve previously received through the mail), but some people do actually keep every card they receive!
The last card bears an image of Rio de Jainero, but was torn out of a Lufthansa magazine by a Postcrosser in Belarus, who happened to be traveling to Great Britain!
Cool stamps…
