Postcrossing

I love Postcrossing. If you haven't heard of it, it's a free, online community of people around the world that send postcards to each other. I've been a member for 6 months, and have received close to 50 cards. I've wrangled my two aunts into joining as well. You send a card, you get a card. It gives you reason to look forward to opening the mailbox and see what awaits you, besides bills and catalogs. Today I received a direct swap from a new friend in Spain. It's not an official card, but a way to send extra cards just for fun. Since I can't officially add it to my Postcrossing wall, I wanted to share it here, since it's quite beautiful:

In receiving cards from Russia, Latvia, Netherlands, Belarus, Germany, Japan, China, Lithuania, Thailand, Taiwan, Spain, and others, it is a testament that we share far more similarities than differences...
