Mabuhay!

I got this card from Postcrossing with official ID US-2266670. Card is dated June 10, 2013. Wow! I have this card for 7 years already.

Florida (Capital City: Tallahassee) is coin as "The Sunshine State" reading the word sunshine, I assume that they have many beautiful beaches there :) and I am right! this is what the postcard says "Florida is he perfect vacation hot spot. Well known for its long sandy-white beaches, crystal-clear tropical waters (just like our Boracay here in the Philippines) endless warmth and sunshine, and some of the most beautiful sunrise and sunsets.

According to nationsonline:

Florida is the southeasternmost US state is a popular tourist destination and home to a variety of attractions like Walt Disney World, Cape Canaveral and the Kennedy Space Center, the Universal Orlando Resort, Miami Beach, the Ten Thousand Islands, the Everglades, Key West, and the Florida Keys. The territory of La Florida was ceded to the United States by Spain in 1819; it was then known as Florida Territory. Admission to the Union on 3rd March 1845, as the 27th state.
