Greetings from Vatican City

I have been lucky enough to both send a card to myself and get sent a card from Vatican City a few times. This is the most recent card I received from the summer of 2017. My friend Wendy (whom I met through postcrossing and eventually met up with in real life while visiting Mexico City) has sent me a few cards from her travels. This one included a beautiful card of the city/state, as well as a stamp of the current pope. From what I remember, stamps were sold in the shops surrounding the Vatican, and you sent off the letters in a post office drop off. I'll have to ask Wendy how she was able to send this card.

The current pope, Francis. Yikes! It is expensive to send out postcards from Vatican City.
