Received on 28th of May, 2019. Thanks to dear friend Frank Fix from Germany. The post card has a interesting story behind. The post card was sent in an envelope to the local post office in Greenland for postmarking and than sending to me as Frank was not visiting Greenland personally. The postal clerk somehow did not understood what was being request and sent the card again in an envelope back to the Frank after postmarking it, who upon receiving the same, sent me in an envelope from Germany. This was really a long swap with giving extra burden on Frank both monetarily and time wise. It finally reach me after a period of 3 months and 11 days.
