Post Cards From America
DISCOVER AMERICA THROUGH POSTCARDS is the result of a former teacher and photographer who followed their dream. Both quit their jobs in 1997, bought a RV and took off to discover America. They knew friends and family would demand postcards, so they decided to save time and send them on the Internet. Then they realized, "Why not send them to anyone who's interested?" Today over 200,000 children around the world are receiving "live-at-the-scene" postcards, as they too discover America. This is ranked in the Top 100 Educational Sites. ~Holly
