Hello. I’ll be uploading some newly received postcards soon, but in the meantime wanted to share this excellent quote I just discovered:
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. –Mark Twain
Dear reader, if you are younger than 40, may I tell you that this is true? I look back now with so many regrets. But not regrets of things I did do; regrets of things I DID NOT do! And now it is too late. I hope it is not too late also for you!

This is an ad card; on the back it says that the John Hancock Center near Chicago’s lakefront is just one of the city’s world-famous works of architecture. I never realized Chicago had a waterline like this….cool! 🙂

This lovely airport card comes from a private trade; I understand that this airport is one of the largest in the country!

This official postcrossing card just arrived here from New Zealand–thanks to Lauretta for the interesting recipe! I told her that our sweet potatoes here are orange; she wrote back that sweet potatoes are three colors over there! Must be harder to tell them apart, eh? 🙂

Rec’d this from a private trade; this is a “rhyton of rock-crystal from the sanctuary of the Palace of Zakros (155/1450 BC).” Beautiful!

Map of Canada from my postcard pal Tam. She sent this and the next, Canada Map 2, and pointed out how the second map, Canada 2, was printed before the Nunavut providence came into existance. See the Northwest Territories here? Earlier, it encompassed Nunavut, too.
