St. George's Cathedral, Georgetown, Guyana

Jo took an awesome trip this year covering many countries and even continents - she rounded it up by sending cards from the final three destinations, the 'three Guianas' on the southamerican continent. Starting from the westernmost Guyana, this postcard was written in the jungle and it must have had quite a ride (also visible from the runny letters :))

St. George's is an Anglican cathedral in Georgetown, the capital of Guyana, and is one of the tallest wooden churches in the world, at a height of 43.5 metres (143 ft). It features typical elements of Gothic architecture- flying buttresses, traceried windows, clerestory, pointed arches, "black and white" framing of Elizabethan times. All this put it on the unesco tentative list :) Thanks Jo!

 

Scenes From Guyana

Guyana was the last country from South America to get a postcard from - and amazingly i got a couple! Thanks to Pat :) The 2nd postcard shows a bandstand in Promenade Gardens in Guyana's capital Georgetown, one of the nicest areas in the city. I cannot thank you enough Pat, and the stamps you used are just awesome :))
