We received our first postcard from Post Crossing all
the way from California, America. The postcard
was vintage and all about the California missions.
The text on the back of the card says:
The founding of the Spanish Missions in California furnished an epic in history. These historical monuments are reminders of the great Franciscan adventure. Years of patient labour, decades of heroic sacrifice by Fray Junipera Serra and his Franciscan brothers lie behind the era of the founding of the twenty-one Missions and their branches, the ruins of which still stand in wonder and beauty, at various points along 600 miles of California’s glorious costal region.

The sender was great and sent the postcard in an envelope so
she could use several stamps - 6 in
all. This is what both Rocket Boy and
Ladybug loved the most. I will have to
teach them how to remove stamps safely and get them a stamp collecting book
soon I think.
I showed Rocket Boy the postmark which showed that the
postcard came from San Francisco then we found it on the map. Rocket Boy is always happy to find places in
America as his favourite you tube show ‘brick show’ is made in America and
every time we look at the map he has to point this out.
Rocket Boy even put the sticker on the map and managed to
get it in the right spot so every time we look at the map now we can easily
find San Francisco.
