Teachable Moments from Around the Globe Via Postcard

Puerto Rico is our origin even though we were born in New York City. We love this island so much it calls to us and its enchanting sounds, and sights pull at our heart strings when it has been to long since our last visit. My loving sister Lei-Lani N sent us these amazing postcards from Puerto Rico. These are our first but I am sure they will not be our last postcards from Puerto Rico.

She lovingly writes: San Juan is the Capitol of Puerto Rico. It is also the most visited area in Puerto Rico by tourists because of all the attractions. Bayamon is the town right next to us. This stadium is used for concerts, special events and games. Every town has their very own baseball team. Baseball is very big in Puerto Rico.
The next card reads: There are beaches like this all over Puerto Rico. Guajataca beach, surrounded by palm trees and by the Atlantic Ocean, is one of the most beautiful beaches of Puerto Rico. The final postcard from Lei-Lani N. reads This is Isla Verde which in English means green island. It is one of the most popular beaches in Puerto Rico. When people visit Puerto Rico this is one of the beaches that is visited the most.

Raven & William L. send us more love from the Big Apple, New York City. The first postcard is of the Statue of Liberty and she writes: Officially called Liberty Enlightening the World. It was a gift from France. 151 ft tall, and with pedestal and foundation 305ft. Can climb stairs to crown. Made Oct 28, 1886. Welcoming Immigrants visitors and returning Americans. Stands on Liberty Island in New York Harbor, and has the date July IV MDCCLXXVI in her left arm.

The Postcard facts state: New York - Statue of Liberty - Her face is more than 8ft tall (2.4m) and is made of copper 3/32in. thick (.24 cm).

The second postcard reads: Who was a Greek God who stole fire from Zeus and gave it to mortals. The Prometheus Statue at New York's Rockefeller Center is surrounded by flags of the world. Prometheus was known for being intelligent . Its a complex of 19 buildings. 22 acres between 48th Street and 51st street (between 5th and 6th avenue). In 1987 this became a national landmark, it was named after John D. Rockefeller who leased it from Columbia University. Known for beautiful lights and a giant tree at Christmas and its great big ice rink. Many thanks again William and Raven L. We love the facts and postcards ;-)

Greetings from Torino, Italy. This postcards comes from Claudia R (from Crema Italy). She writes: Kiss from Italy. In this town there is the most famous Egyptian museum. I love it! [I am sure we would too] Many thanks for this new card with great facts ;-)

This new postcard is from Nelson C. He a wonderful friend and artist. He thought of us and writes: Hello, Greetings from Amsterdam! So needless to say, this country is infamous for many things... not all of them good but the little canals and boats are very pretty and it is one of the cheaper places in Europe ☺enjoy!
Many thanks Nelson for thinking of us and sending us another fantastic postcard!
