In the mailbox today I found my first ever Postcrossing postcard from French Polynesia. The island of Tahiti, to be specific. This card is the 3,607th card sent from that nation by one of the only 30 registered Postcrossing members. In comparison, I have personally sent more than three times as many cards as the whole nation. The island of Tahiti has always carried a special significance for me, as it is the focus of one of my favorite novels, Mutiny on the Bounty. This real-life event and semi fictionalized novel have been a fascination of mine for as long as I can remember. Until I actually visit Tahiti some day, a postcard from there will have to suffice.
