USA – World of Postcards

Guam

Guam is an unincorporated territory of the USA (which means it’s controlled by US, but is not part of it) in the Pacific Ocean. The original inhabitants of Guam were the Chamorro people.

The Two Lovers Point, a cliff line towering over Tumon Bay in northern Guam, is pictured on this postcard and take it’s name from the legend of the Chamorro people. The same one you can probably find in any other culture’s – beautiful girl, chiefs daughter, runs away from the arranged marriage plans, falls in love with another guy, and they eventually jump of a cliff together. Today, the Two Lovers Point is a park, and a a popular location for weddings.

New York State

New York is a state in the northeastern United States, and is the 27th-most extensive, fourth-most populous, and seventh-most densely populated U.S. state. The New York City – the most populous city in the United States – is located in the southern part of the state.

I lived in the northern suburbs of NYC for many years, it has lots of beautiful parks and lakes, and most beautiful, colorful autumn I’ve ever seen. Like on this postcard, but much better live.

American Samoa – Poga Poga

American Samoa is an unincorporated territory of the United States located in the South Pacific Ocean. An unincorporated territory is an area controlled by the United States government which is not part of the United States. American Samoa consists of five main islands and two coral atolls. The largest and most populous island is Tutuila, with the Manuʻa Islands, Rose Atoll, and Swains Island also included in the territory.

I received this postcard from Pago Pago, the capital city of the American Samoa, which is located on Tutuila island.
