covers from the USA

On 13th February I got not only three postcards but also three covers from the USA.

The first of them is all about Valentine's Day. It was cancelled in the small village Romeo in Michigan and all three stamps somehow are connected to love. 

The card inside shows a Navajo Hogan, a traditional house. 

Also the second cover got a Valentine's Day postmark. This one is from Bliss in New York State. I honestly had to look the word up, but just like Romeo this is a good name for a love themed post office. Two more stamps from the National Parks set (issued 02-06-2016) were used.

The card inside shows Clay Moons.

The postmark on the last cover honours Arturo Alfonso Schomburg, a historian and important intellectual person of the Harlem Renaissance. Interestingly this postmark is from Puerto Rico, where he was born. I think it is the first time that I get a piece of mail sent from there. Although the stamps look similar to the national park ones, they are actually from a different set of twelve about Wild and Scenic Rivers (issued 21-05-2019).


Thank You very much Sam-Quito!
