"Thanks for the beautiful postcard! Anne of Green Gables is one of my favourites. If you ever come up to Canada, you can visit the real Green Gables house on Prince Edward Island. Happy postcrossing,
-Alyssa"

75th to 77th Out

We sent cards to Netherlands, Russia, and Canada.  We were excited to send them because they all wanted somewhat specific types of cards.  For the card to The Netherlands, she mentioned that she likes dolls and children's things, so we sent a picture of the Spokane Looff Carrousel.  For the postcrosser in Russia, we sent a black and white picture from Arches National Park.  She liked black and white cards and homemade cards so this fit the bill quite nicely.  The last card, to Canada, a history and classics student who loves books and reading, we sent a picture from Glacier National Park.  We told her about reading Anne of Green Gables!

13th Received, Brampton, Ontario, Canada

Monday we received a postcard from beautiful Chinguacousy Park in Brampton, Ontario, Canada.
It sounds as if this park has everything, even a petting zoo and mini-golf!  If we ever make it to Brampton, we'll have to plan a day at the park!

3rd Received, Quebec City, Canada

On Thursday we received our third card, this one was from Quebec City, Canada.  We learned that Quebec is the only province in Canada who only speak French.  Wow!  Thanks for the great card of the Chateau Frontenac!  It reminds us of our trip to Waterton National Park and Banff National Park last summer!
