I am very thankful to Liene for sending me such a great postcard. I was absolutely shocked when I saw the mark on the stamp. The card was sent on April, 2 and it reached my mailbox just three days after. I wish that all the cards travel so fast, but I'm afraid that my wish will never come true :) Thanks, Liene!
