From Switzerland arrived this one. It was sent by Andy masito, who is hosting a huge lottery in Postcrossing Forum.

And Diana Patzow went to Venice, and I ask her to send me a card from there.

Swaps

These cards are all from different private swaps, they´re all Unesco, too.

New Unesco sites

And more new Unesco sites, this time sent by Iside82. This first one was a missing site im my collection, I didn´t have a single card from Vaticano!

This shows one church in the Route of Santiago in Spain.

And this last one was a surprise, it shows S.Pietro castle, in Aosta valley.

Surprises of the week

These two cards are surprises because, altough I was expecting them, I didn´t know what was sent.

This first one is a lottery prize from Carla.

And this was sent by rita_simões, from her vacations in Rome.

Official cards

This week I received my first official card from Portugal! PT-76073 was sent by a forum friend zepombal. As he knows that I collect Unesco sites and have only few from Spain, he decided to surprise me and sent me a card form Sevilla.

From Germany arrived DE-302026, a beautiful lighthouse calendar sent by Milagos.

And the last one, IT-38681 was sent by millebolle, and it became one of my favourites, it´s really amazing.

Official cards of the week

This week I received 5 official cards. All from different countries with some surprises.

This first one, FI-445448, came from Finland and was sent by Anitta. It´s a painting by Kaj Stenvall, the "Good Afternoon, Sir" from 2007.

This second one, IT-32464, came from Italy. Was sent by bracciodiferro, and shows an aerial view of Verona, with the Castle of Scaligero.

Now, TR-14048, sent by SECRET, shows several views of Izmir. I didn´t receive a card from Turkey for sometime so I was really happy with this one.

US-314096, was sent by MissCristin, from USA. Shows a beautiful view of Great Smoky Mountains National Park, an Unesco site.

This last one came from Switzerland. It´s a hand-made card, not quite the type I use to publish here but CH-23186 it´s a photo taken by Greenblue and shows a beautiful place. I asked Sabrine to send me more information about the place. If she will I´ll post it here.

Official Cards

It´s been a hard week and I received a lot of new cards but there was no time to blog them. So there they´re are:

I´ll start with one from Italy, IT-31388, sent by Francesco Frapi1, it shows the Trulli of Alberobello, one italian Unesco site since 1996.

This second one came from the Czech Republic and it´s one of my favourites. It shows the city of Praga in a Winter night. CZ-19236 was sent by Marie Kalaa.

This one was sent by dandywalkermomma from the USA, US-304829, was a blank card with only the address and the ID. So sad... It shows a memorial to the militaries of the US Air Force who received the Medal of Honor.

DE-254943 came from Germany, Alexander Arcon sent it and it was signed by other four postcrossers that made a Christmas meeting in Köln.

This one is also from Germany, DE-258001 was sent by Wilhelm Willi and shows a beautiful lighthouse.

Another one from Germany, DE-257933, sent by Karl gphonig40, shows several monuments from Köln. The cathedral is an Unesco site since 1996.

This last one , DE-25800, also from Germany, was this time sent to my kid. He´s a postcrosser too :). Anke xtlera sent him a beautiful winter landscape.

This last one came from Germany (DE-249837). It was sent by Geheimnis.

Surprise

This card was sent by rita_simões, for the RR Portugal x Portugal. We live quite near so she thought it would be nicer to send a card from another place than Sintra :) And she sent a card from Assisi, one Unesco place that was missing in my collection. We can see a panoramic view of the city with the St. Rufinus and St. Claire churches.
