Strange & Unique

Olga from Saint-Pteresburg sent this "strange & unique" postcard to me with a quote

"If you have a dream, you'll grow even through the asphalt."

Latvian Museum of Natural History

Postcrossing card received from Anda in Latvia. This was a perfect postcard! Black and white, viewcard (ish, it's an old photograph), beautiful stamps, and a translation.

Latvian Museum of Natural History

The Latvian Museum of National History is a national history museum in Riga, Latvia. It was founded in 1869 by the Riga Latvian Society. Since 1920 it has been located in Riga Castle and in 1924 it attained state museum status. Its mission is "to collect, preserve, research and popularise spiritual and material culture from Latvia and the world from ancient times until today, which has archaeological, ethnographic, numismatic, historical or artistic significance, in the interests of the Latvian nation and its people".

Stamps!

Adorable sticker with translation in Latvian.

Japan

My mother bought me this postcard the last time she was in Japan, which is where she grew up (cool, huh?).

The colors are so much more vibrant in person. Sent to someone on sendsomething with very similar interests to me! Future penpal maybe?

Napali, Hawaii

A book of Hawaii postcards was purchased for me by my Uncle.

Sent to Brett from sendsomething. He had sent me a postcard way back in February 2013 and I found it recently while cleaning. Yikes!
