Message in a Bottle

I love travel, but since I don't often get a chance to, I really love postcards. My friends are wonderful to me in indulging my love for contact from afar and places I may or may not have been. Why the intro, you ask? I'm going to geek you out and list up my postcards. Hopefully, if you don't think I'm too geeky, you'll think of me when you see the next .25 picture and pick it up!

I don't know why I love postcards so much, but it is fun to get a little note from far away. Even in the most remote places, it's fun to think of your friends, to send something back to a place they might never get to experience. Perhaps part of our human nature drives us to connect no matter where we are, and postcards are cheap but thoughtful way to attempt that connection no matter the distance.
