Belize

Hello everyone from the rainy Friday evening in Skopje!
In some other occasion I may have complained about this, but tonight it feels so perfect to be chilling out at home and enjoy the rain and thunderstorm outside...it's been like this ever since the afternoon...just in time you know...finished all errands during the first half of the day and then just came back home and eagerly anticipated the forecast thunderstorm. After days and days of unbearably hot temperatures, this is like a real blessing...even though the drop of temperatures is kinda extreme, at least one can breathe comfortably now...

So as I said, it kinda makes it perfect for chilling out with a cup of coffee and some cards...and first comes one from Belize...yeah, one of those posted in a very timely manner :P

The first card for today comes from Glenn and his trip to Belize back at the end of 2013 (but the card arrived in 2014, hence the label...to avoid any confusion).

Maybe I have mentioned it before, no beaches for me this summer....well no travels at all in general...but I don't think I have the right to complain...I think I really went a bit overboard during the first half of the year so I have to bear the consequences now.

Not sure which beach in Belize this is, but I love that small house inside the sea....not appropriate for living maybe, but certainly ideal for getting away from everything from time to time....and the view to wake up to in the morning i am sure is unbeatable!

the stamp is from a set of 12 definitives issued in 2005 on the subject of Ecological and Cultural Heritage. It shows the Nohoch Che'en Archaeological Reserve.

Thank you Glenn! :)

Belize

well, here comes another small update, on a foggy Wednesday evening....we've been having fog for days now and doesnt look nice at all...

so, "torn" between work and writing the delayed postcards, ill squeeze in some postcards here too...as I say, my keyboard is aching to write about them :)
and the first comes as an amazing surprise from my dear Sissel, who ticks off another of my missing countries with this lovely MAP card from Belize!! Dont wanna brag, but she actually sent me a few more Belize cards..:D

this one here is such a perfect addition to my map card collection!!  The back of the card says, Belize: 8,866 square miles packed with adventure!

And it is just soo green! It is said that over 60% of Belize's land surface is covered by forest while some 20% of the country's land is covered by cultivated land (agriculture) and human settlements. Its biodiversity – both marine and terrestrial – is rich, with abundant flora and fauna and the country a leader where it comes to protecting its biodiversity and natural resources.

*thumbs up* for Belize....if only more countries had followed this principe.....

and now, look at the lovely stamps here!! the top left one is a definitive issued in 2009 (it also appears in the set of 12 definitives issued in 2005) from which the other two stamps come from.

thanks so much again Sissel!! What would i do without you!
