Hue

Vatican City

Vanuatu

Look closely at the picture in the middle. It shows a wooden structure on Pentecost Island in Vanuatu. See the man jumping down? That's where bungee jumping was invented. People on Pensecost Island build these towers and jump down with vines tied to their feet because it proves manlyness and brings luck for good crops.

Thank you, Jenny, for this great postcard and the explanation. Everyone go and check her blog: www.whereisjenny.com

Georgia

Georgia's motto is 'Wisdom, Justice, Moderation'. Wise words, indeed. I find it interesting that there seems to be a state everything.

Taos Pueblo, New Mexico

Massachusetts

I like the information this card from Massachusetts gives. See the one at the bottom? Boston built the first subway system in the United States in 1897. I've been there, it really looks old and made crazy noises. Good thing Boston is a city that it very nice to discover by foot.

Blow holes in Hawaii can be found on several islands. They're the result of waves crashing against the shoreline and into a lava bubble with a hole in its roof, thereby creating a huge geyser.
