Postcrossing Meetup (Received Cards): PÄIVI from FINLAND

This postcard was sent to us from Finland. It was sent by Päivi, who lives in Pori, 2899 kilometers away!

On the card, we can see a flock of Finnish sheep! I imagine they might be rather usual in Päivi's area - she clearly lives in a small town, near the countryside.

On the back we learn about the relatively high temperature Finland was having in May (21 degrees!) and we can read some nice words and good wishes about our language learning.

Kiitos, Päivi!

This postcard was sent to us from the USA. It was sent by Gail, who lives in Cincinnati, 6143 kilometers away!

On the back, Gail tells us a few things about Cincinnati: the importance of its riverfront and activities / places near it.

Thanks, Gail!
