PostCrossing 2

Friday, November the Eighteenth
 I have received many more postcards since the last post and have sent many more as well. I am really enjoying this project. There are two store in Harrisonburg that sell local postcards for only 25 cents each so I have taken full advantage of that and stocked up on plenty. I also finally went and got a sheet of 98 cent stamps.

Turning my own photographs into postcards has also been a fun activity. Here are a few of the postcards that I have made with the original photo.


Photo from Destin, Florida


















This postcard from holland is from an art teacher named Joke who has no kids but does have two cats.


Kahealani from Hawaii sent this card. She was born and raised on the big island. She said most hawaiians vacation to "The ninth island... Vegas"


Sirpa from finland ended her note with: "I don't speak English. Sory" She did tell me that she works in a cafe and likes to work with her hands. the weather there is getting less sunny "Day's here is gray but still is degrees of +7 c.




Daiva from Lithuania told me he doesn't like writing and would not write me a novel but he does like to read.









Anita from Alexandria Virginia just took a trip to Puerto Rico where she picked up this postcard and sent it to me when she got back. She had a great time while hiking in the rainforest and swimming in the caribbean.


Sherwin convinced me that I need to visit the Philippines. Puerto Galera has crystal clear seas surrounded by lush mountains. Numerous pocket pristine beaches make this spot a top travel destination.

  1. I like your postcards - both the sent ones and the received. I also like your hair and beard cut!

  2. Love your postcards! The Massanutten scene and the autumn trees are my favorites. Where is that waterfall?

  3. Thanks Linda! The waterfall is Lewis Falls, on the Lewis Falls trail on Skyline drive. I did the hike in May and it is fairly easy, there were many animals around the trail. I saw a snake while I was climbing around near the waterfall and a few deer along the trail.
