Caffeine Did Not Exactly Speed It up

This letter sent by Phillip (the USA) was posted on 16 April... And arrived on 22 June. More than two monts.

But these cups of coffee did not travelled alone. The same day (22 June) arrived four coffe-related postcards sent by Bryon on 13 April.

Coffee Ask No Questions. Coffe Understands.

Happy Earth Day (2): Mermaids Hate Plastic

 

This is one of the stamps the United Nations issued for Earth Day 2020. It shows the work of Canadian artist Benjamin Von Wong. All he used for creating this fascinating work of art was 10,000 plastic bottles and a mermaid. You can read the story here.

"No water, no life.
No blue, no green."

On the postcard, the marine biologist, explorer and aquanaut Sylvia Earle, drawn by Rachel Ignotofsky.

Earth Day is an annual event celebrated around the world on April 22 to demonstrate support for environmental protection. First celebrated in 1970, it now includes events coordinated globally by the Earth Day Network in more than 193 countries.

Earth Day 2020 was the 50th Anniversary of Earth Day. Celebrations in the USA included the issue of a stamp, a pictorial First Day postmark and special cancellations. Usually, these cancellations are blurry:

Just because it was on the back of an envelope... arrived on 29 June!

And three stamps with the Energy Awareness Month cancellation:
