Sending and Receiving Postcards

In homeschool we are going to start My Fathers World Exploring Countries and Cultures. I've been looking for fun ideas to help us.  I came across a website called Postcrossing.  You register and are able to send up to five postcards.  The website selects other people who are registered from all over the world. They give you a special code to put on your post card so the receiving party can let you know when it arrived.  As soon as your first post card is received. Your address is put in the system and someone else will send you a post card. This is a great way to get something from another state or country.  So far we have sent out two post cards to Germany and China.  We received one today from California.

Juliet was so excited to receive mail from another place.  If your learning about states or other countries this is definitely something to look into.
