Basic 2 students have sent their first card.

Begoña and Lucía from Basic 2 have written a lovely personal message to Anca in Romanía. They make mention of Santiago's famous octopus dish and, of course, the RAIN!.  Great way to use your English.  Keep postcrossing!

And we're staying in the Americas with this card from Brazil

Great postcard received today from Sylvia, a Brazilian postcrosser and Corinthians soccer fan (as evidenced by the Club's soccer shield on the postcard)  An interesting fact is that this card traveled just over 8,000 km and took 26 days to get here whereas the one from Albuquerque, New Mexico (USA), travelled almost the same exact distance but took only 16 days.  Also worth mentioning is that the Brazilian card carries beautiful stamps (notice the series of 3 at the top which together form an entire scene) and came in a fully stamped envelope as well.  If you are a stamp enthusiast, this is defintely a card to check out.

Our first postcard from the USA has arrived!

Valerie in Albuquerque, New Mexico (USA) has sent us this wonderful postcard depicting the state bird: the Roadrunner.  She herself is an English teacher and really praises our students' efforts to practice English through postcrossing. Click here to learn how to pronounce Albuquerque and here for more information on the roadrunner (it's not just a fictional cartoon character!).

Gorgeous postcard of the famous Russian nested dolls

A huge thanks to Valeria in St. Petersburg for this colorful postcard of the famous Russian nested dolls called Matryoshka dolls.  We're so happy to get our first postcard from Russia because that's where our first card went to.

Greetings from the Czech Republic

Lug from the Czech Republic has sent us this gorgeous and informative postcard about lovely Studenka.  Thanks for all of the information!

Another postcard is on it's way to Germany. This time to Leipzig

Maite and Pilar from Intermediate 1have sent this postcard to our postcrossing friend, Adina, in Leipzig, Germany. Gorgeous aerial view of the Plaza de la Platería and the Fuente de los Caballos. And to add a little more Spanish flavor, it carries a commemorative stamp of Flamenco artist Paco de Lucía.  Nice work, ladies!

We have received this lovely postcard from POLAND

Gosia and Miki from Poland have sent us this lovely postcard showing Krakow, Poland. They give us interesting information and send us a lovely Happy New Year's wish in Polish.  Thanks to our Polish postcrossers.
