Postcard from Monaco!

Today I got a cool postcard from Monaco! The postcard features a Formula One race car and the Monaco Grand Prix in the background. The Monaco Grand Prix is a Formula One race held every year on the Circuit de Monaco. It was first held in 1929 and is one of the most important and popular races in the world. The circuit is made up of the different streets of Monaco, with many tight turns and elevation changes, making it one of the hardest circuits in the Formula One season. Thanks Angelina!

Postcard from Monaco!

Today I got a nice card from Monaco! On this card, we can see the yachts at Monte Carlo during the night, the guards at the palace, and a Formula One race car. Used was a nice stamp commemorating the 125th anniversary of the Société Nautique De Monaco. The postmark is really nice!  The card was sent by my dad who visited Monte Carlo. Thanks dad! 




Postcard from Monaco!

Today I got a nice postcard from Monaco! The card shows multiple views of Monte Carlo, Monaco's largest quartier. Monaco, officially known as the Principality of Monaco, is a city-state on the French riviera. It has an area of roughly 2 square kilometers, which makes it the 2nd smallest country in the world. It is also the most densely populated, with a population of about 36,000 people. The card was sent by my dad who visited Monte Carlo. Thanks dad!
