Belgrade, Serbia

Long time , no see  as not many cards have arrived these weeks . Now that I got a few I decide to update in order not to be totally behind with this . I'll start with a card from a city that I always plan to visit but I always fail to do so ! I was supposed to go there in September but it didn't work out !! But Ana did instead of me and like always remembered to drop me one card . Thanks dear ~I know I owe you ;-)



Nice , France


An official from France and especially from the beautiful city of Nice. It located in the southern part of France in the Mediterranean coast , in French Riviera very close to Italian border and Monaco !!

Stonington ( Maine ), USA

Official card from USA.  Excellent view from the fishing village of Stonington in the state of Maine



The first people to live on Deer Isle, as early as 6,100 years ago, were Native Americans. Their descendants were known to early French explorers as Etchemins; some continued to live on the island even after Anglo-Americans established settlements. The first European to venture into the region was Estevan Gomez, a Portuguese working for the Spanish Crown. Gomez sailed his ship La Anunciada up Eggemoggin Reach, which divides Deer Isle from the mainland. The French, however, would be the most active in the region, establishing a fort in Castine and intermarrying with Abenaki natives. A body buried in full armor (believed to be French) was discovered on nearby Campbell Island. As of the census of 2000, there were 1,152 people, 502 households, and 326 families residing in the town.

Funny card :)


An official one from Japan. Card is from "fuwamoco friends" series and it looks so typical Japanese :) Cutie 

... and a cover

Last one for today a cover. Since I'm not really collecting them , I will just upload if I get any every now and then . It is not something extraordinary except that it is a letter from a very dear friend that we know each other for almost 20 years now ( * age alert * :D ). We never got the chance to meet so far ( hopefully we will in the future ) but I really think I know him after all these years of writing letter to each other. Even after some years of silence ( as years go by you simply can't keep at the same pace as when you were teenager ) we found each other again ( thanks to social media networks :D ) and decided to go back to letter writing !!
