rebarnmom: You might want to look into
Postcrossing. In addition to sending postcards and receiving them -- you have to send a card to get a card -- the site has cool maps showing where your cards have gone & where you've gotten cards from. And other geography stuff. Such as: " Andorra is a country in Europe with a population of 72,000 habitants." -- there are 2 members of the Postcrossing site from Andorra. I'm "Elsi" over there as well as here.
