Russia

One day in the mail I received a rather envelope. When I opened it, it contained a postcard the depicted a Russian band, and a pack of postcards with sites from all over Moscow. I do not remember conducting a trade with this person and still to this day have no idea who it was or why I received these cards. I am not complaining however. It was probably one of my most favorite things I have received in the mail.

This postcard is the band one that I received.

This is the outside and inside of the cover of the packet of postcards that I got.

Here are the postcards that were in the packet.
