It took 12 days, but it arrived...(CO-101)

Okay, I decided to start writing the incoming postcard ID as well. If you'll notice, I include the letters before the number as well. I don't know why, maybe because the letters have to do with the place it comes from. Maybe I'll go back and update all the ones from the past, but I'm not sure I'm not making any promises.

This one is coming from Columbia. It's the first from South America. The card...BEAUTIFUL!
Nice, clear picture. Makes me want to go visit! Here's the stamp:
I always find the stamps from different countries interesting. These make the place feel so regal, don't they?

On to the handwriting:

And analysis of course! Proud and dignified, procrastinator, needs people and variety, talkative, persistent.

And the message:

Hello Robert and Jenni this is the first postcard that I send I wait they like it the image is of Narinos House place where the president of the country lives stays in Bogota the capital of the country and the city in which live. I study photography if they want to see something of what I do mi page it is www.flickr.com/mulucay. When it stops studying also I want to be a teacher but of history of the art. I have visited his blog expect to see. Forgive my english that is terrible

Well, I have to say that, though he obviously struggles in English, I don't think it's too bad. It's definitely more than I can do in ANY other language. I admire his attempt. Plus, that is A LOT of information to try and translate when you are learning a language. I'm very impressed. We loved the card!
