A card from Poland

From Piotrek (thank you!)

Świnoujście is a city and seaport on the Baltic Sea and Szczecin Lagoon, located in the extreme north-west of Poland. It is situated mainly on the islands of Usedom and Wolin, but also occupies smaller islands, of which the largest is Karsibór island, once part of Usedom, now separated by a Piast canal dug in the late 19th century to facilitate ship access to Stettin (Szczecin).

Tourist attractions:
- The former town hall houses the Museum of Deep Sea Fishing. Exhibits include the history of sea fishing, sea animals, the town and its region, and old navigation equipment.

Poland postcards set

Few weeks ago a received a fat letter from Poland. I was confused, because the address was written in Ukrainian! And I remember, that I wrote my address on postcarossing site in English. Maybe, I forgot something:)? Or, maybe, it's my ex-compatriot decided to send many postcards and words to native land:)?
And I was soo surprised, when I saw, that I was wrong:)


It was letter from Ksenia. She is Pole, but likes (even loves:)) our counrty and culture very much. She sent me 5 absolutely beautiful postcards. They all different, but very nice and interesting, as you can see.And multiview, and art...
