Greek Mail bike from Debra Mulnick

Wonderful hand made envelope, and the paper was found in Athens, Greece.

Debra from Idaho was at Monasteraki and discovered this pic of a Greek mailman's bike!

It says..."Greek Mail", you see?

Inside this special envelope were many goodies:

The postage envelopes are with very, very, very old cancellation stamps: 1885!

("Salonique 1885"= Thessaloniki , was still under the Sultan and Ottoman Empire, sigh)

Amazing postage from Italy and Latvia!

The stitched "tatoo"...will go to my son to wear on his jacket :-) ha!

'Love it all, Debra, thank you so much!

See you in the mail soon.
