Today I got a great postcard from Lithuania! The postcard features a map of the country's Baltic coastline and the views in the area. Lithuania is one of the three countries that face the Baltic sea. Of the three, it has the shortest coastline along the sea, with only 38 kilometres. Its main warm-water port is Klaipeda, which is situated by the Curonian lagoon. Used was a nice stamp issued in 2009 commemorating the Tall Ships' Races held at Klaipeda in 2009. Thanks Ieva!
