Sanibel Island, Florida


"This lighthouse at Sanibel takes you back to old time Florida" says the text in the postcard. I'm sure that's very true! This lighthouse was built in 1880's and it was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. Thanks Katya!

A postcard from Fort Myers, FL, and some stuff about thunderstorms!


Another beautiful beach postcard from my friend Katya in Florida! Actually right now we're having the hottest day of this summer in Finland. They just said on the news that there's been a new Finnish all-time record of +37,2 celsius (98,6 fahrenheit) in Joensuu, the city in eastern Finland where we visited 2 weeks ago. The last record was +35,9 C and it was measured almost 100 years ago, in 1914, so this is definitely something new! Here in Kalajoki it's been around +33.

We've also had some huge thunderstorms, I like those. Last night we had to switch off all power and internet connections many times because those storms were so huge, and luckily there wasn't any damage. I managed to take some cool pictures and also this video:



I know it doesn't look so cool in this video, but oh my gosh we just freaked out and my eyes hurt many hours after that. I also had to cut few seconds off from the ending because me and my mom were swearing, lol. xD

There are more storms coming later today, I think!

Wisla, Poland & Boca Raton, Florida

My new friend from Poland sent me this amazing view of Wisla! Wisla is a small town in southern Poland, and maybe best-known for being the hometown of ski jumper Adam Malysz. I've been watching ski jumping for many years, and remember how the Finnish commentators always tell that the whole Wisla town is crazy about ski jumping ;)
Thanks so much Iwona!

I also got this fantastic card from Florida; I don't usually show official cards here, but this one is so amazing that I just have to!


I don't get official cards from USA too often (I've sent 21 and got 8!) even though I'd love to, and it always feels that the ones I get are everything else but viewcards. This is just perfect for me! Thanks so much!
