The Eastern Europe delivery has arrived!

I think New Zealand postal deliveries must be collected from multiple countries in one central place - because they seem to come in surges. One day I received 3 packages from Mexico, banded together. Only one of them was actually for me! The others belonged to not only different cities, but a different island (of NZ). Don't worry - my father returned them to the post office to continue on their journey.

Anyhow, yesterday Eastern Eurpe came to me. Ironically, two of these countries I am intending to visit. Maybe not next year - but eventually.

Charlotte, NC is sparkly!

I sent a package of cards and art to a woman and her 4 year old daughter - whom she is trying to educate on the world. This is the first of two promised cards. It is from Charlotte, North Carolina and it is all sparkly!

From Poland!

This is the largest church made of brick EVER, apparently. Not sure if that's just in Poland or the whole world, but gosh, it's massive!
