Hello Postcrossers! Finally it's friday! Hope you all have a nice weekend!  I end the week with 4 more cards, two received yesterday and a couple more today. Here they go!

Yesterday's first one came from Russia. It was a great surprise because i had favourited it time ago in Postcrossing postcard gallery. Train stamps postcard, that came with two unique stamps. Thank you very much Kate!

Second one yesterday came from Nederland. It's a cool Sphynx breed cat, i'm so used to cats with hair that this one seems so odd! Sphynx cats seem to have no hair, but they have it, only it's very thin and short. Their appearance comes from a genetic mutation that happened in Canada in the sixties. Thank you very much John!

The first one from today it's an official card from Canada, my first one from the country! It's also one that i had favourited in my postcard gallery, beautiful landscape from canadian BANFF National Park situated in Rocky Mountains. It came with a cute polar bear stamp! Thank you very much Olena!

And last card has been a huge surprise. It came from Pamplona (Spain) from the first Pamplona - Madrid postcrossers meeting. In it you can see a monument symbol of Navarese freedom built in 1903. The statues in the middle represent work, peace, justice, autonomy and history. And the top statue is in memory of Navarra as historic kingdom of Spain. Thank you very much Soniasadin, Eriso and Victor!

Next official postcard came from Finland, it's the first finnish postcard i receive! It shows a beautiful landscape, a lake with cows that makes me feel and want to be there, it seems so peaceful! Thank you very much Pirjo!

This card came from Hong Kong, with tag "Hong Kong to the world". It's also the first i receive from the country. In it you can see Hong Kong clock tower, Declared Monument of Hong Kong in 1990 and Landmark from the age of Steam. It was part of the Kowloon - Canton Railway terminus. Thank you very much Kelly!

Next card is from "Choose a country" tag and came from Indonesia. It shows a scene from Balinese traditional rice harvest. It cames with three colorful stamps and one from Mohammad Natsir, who was Indonesia's fifth prime minister. Thank you very much Shinta!

And the fifth card is from "Tag within Europe". It came from Germany and it shows some views of Lübek, a Hanseatic town founded in XII century. Lübeck was included in Unesco's world heritage list in 1987 for being a unique ancient city with noble patrician residences, beautiful churches and old salt storehouses. Thank you very much Turtles!

Yesterday i had an awesome surprise! I was at 9 cards sent, 9 received, and that morning I had changed to 10 cards sent. I wasn't expecting any postcrossing mail, but when i opened my mailbox there were 3 official cards waiting for me!

I have already read that those "odd" things with postcrossing could happen, but i didn't thought it could happen to me and so soon!

So, here are the three official cards i received yesterday:

One native american from US, a very cool card with interesting stamps! Thank you very much Lelia!

A beautiful view of Scotland's River Garry. Scottish landscapes are wonderful, i wish i could travel to Scotland one day! Thank you very much Marta!

And last but not least, a card from Barcelona with typical cats from Malta, they are gorgeous! Thank you very much Àngel!
