A seashell from Australia <3

I was finally able to catch the post office people! They don't work and Saturdays and Sundays and take 2 hour long lunch breaks on other days of the week. Anyways, after making me run back home to get my passport (a student ID and an ISIC card were dismissed as insufficient pieces of identification), they gave me a huge packet with "FRAGILE! DON'T BEND!" written all over it in a very familiar handwriting =) . Inside was the biggest postcard I've ever received, drawn by Alina to mark the end of the second year (or, rather, beginning of a third year) of happiness =)))

I'll upload a picture of it as soon as I buy new batteries for my camera... Also included in the package were a cute little stuffed Australian friend whose species I failed to identify (Alina, help me out!), and a half of a petrified seashell 180 million years old. You can only guess where the other half is... =)
