Ponzi, who I met at blogher, loves postcards. She has a wonderful tradition - sending other bloggers postcards from her travels. Most recently, she visited Bangkok. I was the lucky recipient of the above postcard with the cool Red Cross stamp. My kids loved it and Sara took it to pre-school with her.
