Postcrossing Meetup (Received Cards): ALYA from RUSSIA

This postcard was sent to us from Russia. It was sent by Alya, who lives in Saint Petersburg, 3248 kilometers away!


On the card we can see a picture of a very famous landmark of her city: the winged lions (or griffins) with gilded wings that crown the abutments of the Bank Bridge a 25-m-long pedestrian bridge crossing the Griboedov Canal near the former Assignation Bank. Like other bridges across the canal, the existing structure dates from 1826.


On the back of the card, Alya tells us that she loves history and art (as we can see from the card she chose for use), as well as some good wishes for our studies.


Спасибо, Alya!

Postcrossing Meetup (Received Cards): TUULA from FINLAND

This postcard was sent to us from Finland. It was sent by Tuula, who lives in Helsinki, 2980 kilometers away!


In the last postcard we received we had a bird. In this one we have a completely different animal: a bear! He doesn't look very big or threating, but I sure wouldn't want to be near it when it is hungry.

The text of the card informs us of the cold Finnish autumn (it starts to snow in November!) as well as about one of the activities that Tuula does: she has a theatre workshop for elderly people.


Kiitos, Tuula!
