Swap - Russian UNESCO sites

I love this card that Xenia sent to me from Russia!  The buildings are gorgeous!  The card arrived quickly and in great condition except for the heavy cancellation marks that you can see on the front from the Post Office.  :(

Swap - Novgorod

I chose this beautiful card from Kristina in Lithuania in a tag game.  It is Novgorod, which was Russia's first capital in the 9th century! It was inscribed by UNESCO in 1992 as a World Heritage Site.  With stunning architecture and such a culturally rich history it is easy to see why.
