Holland
This is the second postcard received the Nature RR. The sender tells me that Holland has some awesome sky views, and that it is a very flat country.

Postcards from Finns :)
This is an official card, handmade from a Finn that I seem to have a lot in common with, at least when it comes to things listed on our profiles.
This one is from the person who sent me the card from Albania. She's on holiday and went to Croatia next. I sent her an Oregon card, I think one of the Gorge, because that's my fave place in OR, and IMNSHO, one of the most beautiful.

Chocolate AND Postcards
So, I received two postcards yesterday and one today AND a chocolate bar from the chocolate round robin I'm participating in. This one is an official card from Finland, from a town just south of the Arctic Circle. Love the wolf :)
The roe deer are from Finland, the nature postcard round robin I am in.
And this one is of Normandy, France and is also an official card. The mail has had more than bills for me lately, YAY!
and oh yeah, two chocolate bars (100g each) from Finland. The first one I sampled is chocolate with raspberry yogurt. I am LOVING it. The other is .... milk chocolate with Hazelnut filling. I guess the rest of the world really likes hazelnuts :)

This week's postcards
This week's received postcards.
This is a French lighthouse, again, I am too lazy to go get the card off my scanner and see where. I'll do it later. Enjoy the photos!
This is a swap from Saint-Petersburg, Russia, circa 1930-1940.
The third is a street scene from Lille, France.
This is from Finland. The user described the center one and I am too lazy to go get it off my printer and look at it. I guess I should do that, huh?

Italy and Albania
My latest postcards come from Italy and Albania, but sent by a Finn. (Well, the Italy one was sent by an Italian, the Albanian one sent by a Finn on holiday).
This one is of Crete senesi just south of Siena Italy.
I didn't know that Albania was so close to Italy. I used to love geography, postcrossing is a good way to regain that knowledge

Chocolate
I received my first chocolate yesterday from Germany! I find it slightly ironic that it has hazelnuts in it. I get chocolate from half-way around the world with hazelnuts in it, go figure. For those of you who don't know, hazelnuts are big here in Oregon, like one of the major exports.
Off to wrestle with Joy, take meds, and hate being a woman this week, or at least till the heat therapy kicks in.

Round Robins and such
Newest postcards being mailed to France, Netherlands, Finland, Hungary, and Germany. These are all swaps, tags, and round robin cards, so I expect one back from each person that I am sending to. This oughtta be cool :) And I have noticed from the postmarks that most cards take just about a week to get from Europe to America. However, cards from Canada to America and vice versa can take up to two weeks to arrive. What's up with that?? We're on the same continent for goodness sake!

London's Tower Bridge
This is my latest received postcard from London (a swap). The Thames actually looks beautiful, doesn't it?

Where's the mail?
You have sent 10 postcards, received 3 and have 4 travelling (sent).
I'm getting kinda bummed. I have 10 official cards that have been received and another 4 on the way and yet I have only received 3 official cards. I am active in swaps and tags though. I have a few more lighthouse ones to send out, still waiting on cards from Italy and Melbourne from flickr swaps (getting more luck and reliable people on the postcrossing forum), waiting for a tea round robin, a nature postcard round robin, and I have to send out my chocolates for a chocolate round robin. One of the people in my chocolate group has already sent hers, IIRC, they are coming from Maylaysia. NOW that is awesome :) Ok, Joy wants to go to the park and I think the sun will do me some good too. Yesterday I got plenty done but today, despite the sunshine, I am feeling bummed and a bit depressed. Not sure why. 'Tis disturbing

Oregon Rhododendrons
And the absolute last one for the day. I forgot to send this one off last week. Shame on me. But, all is well. This one is on its way to Saint Petersburg, Russia. In return I am hoping to get an old B&W postcard of that city.
And I have just 3 international postcard stamps left, reserved for that Nature card swap, so I might actually be taking a small break from postcrossing (Tim will be glad I think) for a bit till I can get more stamps.
In the meantime, I'll just wait for postcards to arrive. As many official ones as I have sent out, I should be getting like 7 or 8. Plus 3 or 4 swapped.
Good night.

Ronnskar Lighthouse
My latest received postcard is from a lighthouse tag/swap :) I liked the stamp a lot too. The writer gave me the history of this particular lighthouse.
... is the second oldest beacon in Finland (1800). The beacon was blown up in the War of Finland (1808-1809) It was repaired in 1814 and in 1822 its height was raised. ...
