Patos Island Lighthouse

Linda from the USA sent this nice lighthouse card to me. The lighthouse is the lighthouse of Patos Island, a small island in the San Juan Islands of the U.S. state of Washington.

Linda told that they are waiting for snow (13.4.24) and  they probably won´t get any cherries this year :(.

All stamps were very nice, one with a lighthouse!

This card was sent for 24 days ago and it has been travelling 8332km.

+20°C and -1°C

This nice lighthouse-postcard  has Jutta sent to me. Jutta lives in a small town Tönisvorst in Germany.

Juttas postcard had also beautiful stamps. And I read that they had 20ªC

 

warm when she sent the card to me.

Päivi from Himanka, Finland send this wonderful retro-card to me. The Boys are waiting for a library buss.

The stamp is the same style as the card.

 -1°C shows the thermometer at Päivi´s.

 

Sun or Hugo?

Today I got a Postcard from China. It had been travelling 50 days

              and the distance was more than 8000km!

              The sender says his name is Hugo, but when i look at his profile, there 

              he says that his name is Sun, so I am not sure if she is Sun or if he is 

              Hugo.

              Anyway, the card is nice and colorful and I like it very much.

 

The card has nice stamps and also a small picture showing a lighthouse.
I wish I could read  Chinese text!

Windows and balconies

This wonderful card I got from Margarida, who lives in Portugal,

near Lisbon.

She likes travelling, hiking, reading books and watching football.

She writes that the temperature today in Lisbon is 14°c, so it is much warmer there than in my country. Today we have 0°c!

Thank you very much Margarida!

The yellow door and the Nile crocodile

Two cards came again!

The first card came from Norway, Lofoten. The picture is from Greece, where Olga was on vacation. I have been hoping for cards with a picture of doors and this yellow door is exactly what i like!

The secon card came from India. The picture shows a Nile crocodile.

The Nile crocodile is 4-5 meters long and can live to be 50-60 years old.

Thanks Prakash! I learned something new again.

Ps. Olen muuttanut tämän blogin englanninkieliseksi koska löysin valtavasti englanninkielisiä Postcrossing-bloggaajia joita rupesin seuraamaan, kun taas suomenkielisiä ei ole juuri ollenkaan. Englanninkieleni ei ole kovin hyvä ja joudun käyttämään kääntäjää joissakin kohdissa.

Kommentteja saa kuitenkin mielellään lähettää suomeksi!

30 cards on the same day, but not for me (yet)

Simone from Germany send this lovely card with cats. She is just starting a new job and she has three cats at home.

I noticed that It is cheap to send a card from Germany, only 0,95€. When I send a card to Germany I pay 3,20€!

Another card also came from Germany from Ruth. She lives in a small town and loves walking in the forest.

I read on Facebook that a postcrosser received 30 cards on the same day!
