VICHY Candy , Mittens and one more Aircraft

BLOG # 1451
Hey there . I'm back with a few cards to have a look at, but before I do, I have this to say. Today, March 9th, 2020 marks 14 years that I have been participating in PostCrossing. That's 5,114 days and in all those days I have received 2,883 postcards from fellow PostCrossers. Surprisingly in that same time I have received 2,882 postcards from non-PostCrosers. That works out to just over 1 postcard every day.  That's pretty amazing when you think about.

Now it's on to the cards at hand. Well my last update started out with doughnuts and now today it's candy. This card is from France and the candy is Vichy Pastilles. These are french candy produced in the spa town of Vichy in central France. They were first produced in 1825. They are recognizable as a white , octagonal shaped candy bearing the word VICHY.



Dominique used a stamp from 2015. It was issued for the Paris Spring Stamp Exibition.




Here's a card from the U.S. It was actually mailed from Vegas. It's a look at The Mittens in Monument Valley. When viewed from the south, the two buttes appear to be two gigantic mittens with their thumbs facing inwards.



Bruce used the 2017 Green Succulent Forever stamp.




My final card for today is this one. An Egyptair Embraer 170, registered as SU-GDH. The aircraft is 11.2 years old and has only seen service with Egyptair.




Jean Pierre used 2 definitives along with the larger stamp on the right. It is from 2019 and Commemorates the 150th Anniversary of Cairo University School of Law.



Well, that's it for this time, a little shorter than usual. Thanks for the cards this time go to Dominique, Bruce and Jean Pierre.
