Che Guevara

Recently, my Postcrossing friend, Néstor, requested that I help him by contributing postcards to an exhibition he was organizing. In return, I got this black and white photo card of Che Guevara.

The caption on the back of the postcard reads: "Che Guevara has learnt to drive a car."

This card appears to be postmarked on 26 October 2009.
It was received on 28 November 2009.

Torre Velasca

My dear Postcrossing friend, Lamberto, recently sent me this postcard of the Velasca Tower in Milan, Italy. He always uses the the best stamps! This one honors the victims of terrorism. (I learned that vittime is the Italian word for victims.)

Postillione, Briefträger, Sachsen, 1866

On Monday, 02 November 2009, I received from my dear Postcrossing friend, nordbär, this postcard of postmen from 1866 Saxony. I lubber me some mail-related mail! :D

EDIT: It would appear this postcard was published to commemorate 500 years of mail delivery (500 Jahre Post).

Some German words I learned are:

  • Briefträger = Postman
  • Post = Post office
  • Postkarte = Postcard
  • Luftpost = Air mail
  • Jahre = Years
  • Jubiläums = Anniversary
  • Nord = North
  • Bär = Bear
