San Jose, Costa Rica

I can't say that there's anything beautiful about this postcard, but I found the message amusing.

As a side note, the Banco Anglo Costarricense no longer exists. The bank was closed down  in 1995 after incurring over $200 million in losses due to bad loans and investments in Venezuelan bonds that subsequently disappeared. Oops. A number of the bank's board members and management are serving prison sentences.

In case you can't read the message, it says:
Aug 12, 1966
Dear Ned,
I'm here at last after missing my plane. I had to wait 6 hrs. in the bus station for my suitcase. 
Isabel won't let Teri, Francisco, or me play the piano, she says only you play well enough,
