For whatever reason, there are not many active Postcrossing members in central America, and therefore cards from that region are rare. So it took over 13 years of Postcrossing for me to receive my first ever card from Guatemala. Sort of. The card itself is from Amsterdam and was sent by a Dutch Postcrosser who was travelling in Guatemala at the time he sent it. So it has an ID number from that country: 2131, meaning I've sent nearly six times as many cards as the entire country. In fact, there are only 23 registered Postcrossing members in the country. All this makes for an exceedingly rare card, one I'm happy to add to my collection.
