Two Cards From Japan

Although I have received several cards from Japan,

these stamps are new to me. They

are lovely stamps!

Takako, a junior high teacher of English in

Shibata, Niigata, Japan, sent me both the

card above and the card below as 'thank you' cards.

Takako says that, when she was a university student,

she made her first trip abroad and visited the

United States--Washing D.C., Virginia, etc.

She said she had a wonderful time. She has a

family now, but says that when her daughters

grow up, she would love to travel all over the USA.

I hope you do, Takako. You will be very welcome!

Thank you for the lovely cards!
