Postcard from the USA!

Today I got a nice postcard from the USA! The postcard features a scene at the Farmer's Market in Charlotte Hall, Maryland. Wednesdays and Saturdays are designated as market days and many of the local Amish come to the market, which is also called the Amish Market. The Amish come in their horses and buggies and sell produce, foodstuffs, antiques, and other merchandise. Nice amish quilt stamps were used! Thanks Eric!

Postcard from the USA!

Today I got a nice postcard from the USA! The postcard features a view of the "Maryland Dove," a replica of the ship that accompanied Lord Baltimore on the first colonization voyage to Maryland in 1634. It is currently used as a history museum at Old St. Mary's City. Used were several beautiful stamps all related to ships! Included were stamps commemorating the USS Constitution, the Virginia Capes, Irish Immigration, and Maryland. Two older stamps were used too. One from 1957 featured the Virginia of Sagadamock and one from 1934 featured the Maryland Tricentenary. Thanks Eric!

Postcard from the USA!

Today I received another cool card from the USA! This is one of two cards sent by Jonathan and the other one is in the preceding post. This card showcases the National Cryptologic Museum, where one can learn about code making and code breaking and the history of signals intelligence. The museum is a part of the NSA. Thanks again Jonathan! 




Postcard from the USA!

Today I got a cool postcard from the USA! It showcases National Security Agency, which is the USA's signals intelligence agency. It headquarters is located at Fort George G. Meade in the state of Maryland. The card was published by the NSA's Office of Public and Media Affairs and the card is available at the NSA's National Cryptologic Museum, which the sender visited. I really like cards related to the military or to intelligence! Thanks Jonathan!
