Graf Zeppelin stamps from Nicaragua

From a sheet issued in 1994 that shows the Zeppelin over different places. This strip shows it over the Arctic, Rio de Janerio, London and Rome.

León, Nicaragua

This one is best viewed on end like this. León is the second largest city in Nicaragua, with an urban population just under 200 000. It lies on the west coast of the country and is considered the political and intellectual centre of the country.

The cachet below the stamp sheet is that of the Entomology Museum in León. Entomology = study of insects. This letter was sent to me by the
founder and curator of that museum, Mr. Jean-Michel Maes.

Kenya and Nicaragua

I received a surprise in the mail the other day from friend and fellow polar enthusiast Bhavin.



I love the Giraffe stamps from Kenya and the Nicaraguan PPRG issue was one I did not yet have. Thank You very much Bhavin!
