PF #2 : San Antonio, Texas

 

For this week, my featured postcard for Postcard Perfect is from sis Dhemz of World Exploration. It is among the first batch of postcards I received since I started collecting postcards.

She sent me this lovely San Antonio Riverwalk postcard and looking at it makes me wish that we can also visit the place someday.

Riverwalk

 

The San Antonio River Walk (also known as Paseo del Río) is a network of walkways along the banks of the San Antonio River, one story beneath downtown San Antonio, Texas. Lined by bars, shops and restaurants, the River Walk is an important part of the city’s urban fabric and a tourist attraction in its own right.

Today, the River Walk is an enormously successful special-case pedestrian street, one level down from the automobile street. The River Walk winds and loops under bridges as two parallel sidewalks lined with restaurants and shops, connecting the major tourist draws from the Alamo to Rivercenter mall, to the Arneson River Theatre, to Marriage Island, to La Villita, to HemisFair Park, to the Tower Life Building, to the San Antonio Museum of Art, and the Pearl Brewery. During the annual springtime Fiesta San Antonio, the River Parade features flowery floats that "float" down the river. (source)

 

Thanks again, sis Dhemz ! The Riverwalk looks magical, I’m sure it is a great place for families to visit.

Sent Another Batch of Postcards

I was finally able to join Postcrossing last week and after registering and creating an account, I immediately prepared the postcards that I’ll be sending to five random members the site. My husband was supposed to mail it the next day but his trip to the Main Post Office was postponed due to Typhoon Falcon.

Here’s a photo of the postcards that my husband was finally able to send last Monday. It also includes postcards for members of Postcard Enthusiasts.

 

And these are the postcards I sent last week :

 

Now all I have to do is wait for the postman to deliver the next batch of postcards that were sent to me. The last time the postman was here was two weeks ago ! I can’t wait to receive those sent by my friends from PE. As for the postcards from Postcrossing, I may have to wait awhile for them. From what I understand, I can only be eligible to receive a postcard from members once the first 5 postcards I’ve sent have been received. Good thing I still have the postcards from PE members to look forward to.

Have a great week everyone !

Postcard from Toronto, Canada

 

Mommy Willa of Postcard Perfect sent me this postcard from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It features a picturesque view of the Toronto skyline.

 

Beautiful, isn’t it? I also love the stamp that was used in this postcard :

 

 

 

Thanks for the beautiful postcard, sis ! I’m looking forward to exchanging more postcards with you.
