Received Postcards 1-10
Postcard #1
This postcard of Goldens is the first official Postcrossing postcard I have received. And a wonderful one at that! I have a Golden Retriever and always appreciate a good golden photo. I can't stop looking at this. Too cute! It was sent from Scranton, which is the setting of The Office (US) as well a a notable place on my many road trips to Florida until I was 17 (I started flying after that). In fact, I have spent the night there before! Small world :)

Postcard #2
This postcard is a beautiful map of Finland. Finland holds a spot in my heart as my great grandfather (who died shortly after I was born) was born there. My last name is Finnish as well. I am trying to learn more about Finland, so it was fitting that the first international postcard I have ever received is from Finland. Loving the Hello Kitty stickers, nice touch :D

Postcard #3
This awesome postcard is of Penny, Rufus, and Teddy. It is a scene from Disney's "The Rescuers". In Germany it is apparently called "Bernard & Bianca". I had just re-watched this about a week before receiving this. I wish the USA had classic Disney postcards. Pretty stamp and unique postmark as well. :)

Postcard #4
This is a cool postcard of Prague, Czech Republic the capitol. It is quite beautiful. It was nice to see it as I honestly do not know much, if anything about the country. The postcard is exactly double the size of a standard postcard, which was unique. The stamp is quite beautiful and also larger than I have seen; about four times larger than US stamps.

Views of beautiful Ghent, Belgium which is 1 hour from Herentals. The stamp is neat how it is made up of words. Also, the postmark is cute how it has a little envelope on it. Love the plane on the priority sticker.
