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:

USA: Texas- Lone Star State

Mabuhay!

Welcome to Texas! :) Capital City is Austin. So, What comes to mind when you hear Texas? Me? to be honest, I relate it to rodeo, cowboy, horse. Texas is coin as the Lone Star State for its former status as an independent republic, and as a reminder of the states struggle for independence from Mexico. A Lone Star can be found on the Texas state flag and on the state seal. By land area Texas is 2nd largest state in US by both area (after Alaska) and population (after California). Largest City is Houston. Largest Metro is Dallas- Forth Worth Metroplex.

This card is from Russia. Official card from Postcrossing (RU-4324063). This is part of UNESCO, and it says, Kazan Kremlin was built on an ancient site dates from the Muslim period of the Golden Horde and the Kazan Khanate. It was conquered by Ivan the Terrible in 1552 and became Christian See of the Volga Land. The only surviving Tatar fortress in Russia and an important place of pilgrimage, Kazan Kremlin consist of an outstanding group of historic buildings dating from 16th to 19th centuries (wow!
