This card is printed in Italy but was sent from Nastola, Finland. Nastola is located in southern Finland and there are only 15 000 inhabitants. Päivi, who sent me this card, says that the nature is what she loves most in Nastola. They have lots of beautiful lakes and forests. And she loves to have the nature around her.

These cards have arrived for nearly two weeks. My friend kept them for me, because I have been leaving for three weeks.
