Direct Swap - Mexico from Emilia

Back in September or so I swapped some map cards that I had with Emilia. They helped to fill some gaps she had in her collection and I know how important that is, especially when it comes to maps. We left her part of the swap open and when she went on vacation in November she sent me this great card from Mexico. Having been to Cancun I can say the water is this beautiful and blue! Thank you Emilia for sharing your vacation with me.

Direct Swap - Wendy from Mexico

On the Facebook Postcrossing page one day I saw Wendy's offer of this great Mexico City subway map card. By the time I saw it, she had run out but agreed to be in touch when she had more. A short time later I heard from her and we exchanged details. Wendy tells me the Metro system is the main use of transportation in the city and at certain hours of the day it is chaotic. I can imagine it would be, it is huge! I flew into Mexico City once to transfer planes off season on my way to San Jose del Cabo. To this day I can remember that landing - the city went on forever!

 

Mexico from Fiona

I might receive postcards most days, but it certainly isn't everyday that a postcard arrives addressed to "Auntie SuSu". Needless to say, I was super excited when this set of cards arrived for me a few weeks ago. My sister and her family travelled to Mexico in October. Yes, October, as in 5 months ago. Both my sister and I had somewhat given up on these cards. Funny then that they both arrive on the same day after months of travelling. Only one card is cancelled and while smudged to me it looks like the date is 11012014 - January 11, 2014 - even months after they returned home. One of the many mysteries in the postcard world that we will never know the answer to. All I know is that the resort and trip that my niece Fiona shared with me sounds dreamy. I missed you too, so glad you had fun! xox
