cover from the USA

Last Thursday I got not only a postcard but also a cover from the USA.

The two stamps used on the right are from a set of four called Holiday Window Views (issued 06-10-2016). The postmark is from the KNOXPEX philatelic exhibition in Knoxville, Tennessee.

In the cover was this map of New Mexico. New Mexico is a US State in the southwestern part of the country. By area it is the fifth largest, but by population just the 36th largest and sixth least densely populated state. The area was originally a part of Mexico. At the end of the Mexican-American War in 1848 it was however annexed by the USA and was admitted to the Union as the 47th state in 1912. On the map you can find the state's capital Santa Fe, the largest city Albuquerque, the UNESCO World Heritage Sites at Carlsbad and Taos, the alien landing site in Roswell and much more.


Thank You very much Sam-Quito!
