Italy Arrived

Hurray! US-1053216 was received!

The postcard US-1053216 to Yorrick in Italy has arrived! It reached its destination in 15 days after traveling 8,810 km!

Yorrick wrote you a message:

"Thanks very much for thwe card with those extraordinary statues, which I have been reading and thinking about. I supposae all open air, publioc statuary transforms the place it is in to some extent, but not so clearly as these (so perhaps they revealsomething about statuary itself, at aby rate to the common viewert), or, if what I read about them freprebnting the dead is true, in quite this way. I would guess thatb they are intended to evoke a Native American belief. Am I right ?
Thanks so much for getting me to think, anyway,
XXX David"
David,
These statues are called, "The Joy of Running Together."  They depict the annual "Bloomsday" run that is held the first Sunday in May.  Each year approximately 50,000 people run a 12k race through our downtown and surrounding areas.  http://www.bloomsdayrun.org/BloomsdayHistory.htm.
