Send me a card :)

If anyone reading this blog would like to send me a postcard, I would love it. Email me to get my address at: ashdepo@yahoo.com
Touristy postcards that show me your country, or city, or something significant about where you live are my favorite. If you would like one back, email me your address and I will be glad to send you from Minnesota USA as well.

Idaho

I received two postcards the other day as part of a direct swap on Facebook.

This adorable child, dressed in ceremonial finery for a Pow Wow, is a member of Nez Perce' tribe that has populated the valleys of the Snake and Clearwater rivers for centuries. This famous tribe is known for its friendship and generousity to early explorers such as Lewis and Clark, and for the breeding and development of the Appaloosa horse, the symbol of the state of Idaho.



The Boise Union Pacific Depot is a former railroad state in Boise, Idaho. It was built in 1935 by the Union Pacific Railroad. In 1990 MK-Morrison Knudsen purchased the depot and renovated it to pristine condition. In 1996, the City of Boise took it over and opens it for tours and special events.
