2252 - Thrissur, Kerala, India

My first Postcrossing Meetup card from India! I think it is the 15th anniversary of their Postcrossing group. The neat thing about meet up cards is everyone in the meet up signs the card, or they have a personal rubber stamp, or they have a personal sticker they place on the card. Looks like about 20 different people personalized this card.

Another thing I think is neat about the card is the 10 rupee stamp. It celebrates "Covid-19 Warriors."

This card was sent by Flynn who actually grew up in Oman. She now lives in Thrissur, which is considered the cultural centre of the State of Kerala. Flynn doesn't say what she does for a living, but seems to be a very positive and warm young lady who seems to love life and travel.

3227 - Mölln, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany

Mölln is a small city of about 20 000 located in northern Germany. The Elbe-Lübeck Canal flows through the town, and there are eight small lakes that surround the city. It was founded in the 12th century and was a part of the Old Salt Route. Salt that was produced in the salt mines of Lower-Saxony was shipped to the Baltic Sea. Till Eulenspiegel, a legendary trickster known for exposing vices and provoking thought, is said to have lived in Mölln the last year of his life. He apparently died of the plague in 1350, but his existence has never been proven. Mölln has several monuments dedicated to him.

Happy birthday to me! What a lovely handmade card from the sender. Beautiful penmanship. Am Rothenbaum is the site of the main court of the German Open Tennis Championships.

The Sturgeon Bay Ship Canal North Pierhead Light was built in 1882. There were nine keepers of the light until 1897. It was redesigned in 1903 and is 12 meters high.
