United Nations in the Winter (UN, NY)

This postcard comes from a former student who visited the United Nations while on a trip to New York City! She writes about how beautiful and magical NYC is, about encountering places she first learned about in the movies. That’s one of the great things about traveling to world cities like NYC or SF or Paris; you’ve already seen corners of them before you get there!

One of the best things about this postcard is that it was sent from the United Nations, which maintains its own postal system. So it doesn’t have US stamp on it, but rather a United Nations stamp (although the cost is listed as 37¢, which leads me to believe they sell their stamps in the currency of the host country. So great!
