Some things I have around the house that I will be bringing over.
I framed this postcard in a cheap Ikea frame. 
The postcard itself: a picture of the painting, “The School of Athens”. Artist is Raffaello Stanzio, also known as Raphael. The painting sits in the Vatican museum.
What’s so special about this postcard?
This postcard is also a memento of my visit to the Vatican museum. The Vatican City has its own postal service, separate from the Italian Postal Service. When I was there, I mailed the postcard to myself via the Vatican City Postal Service. Note the Città del Vaticano on the stamp:
I thought it was fun - using the same postal system as the pope. When you’re a tourist you’re supposed to do stuff like this.
Hey, Jo, if you’re reading this post, look: It’s Josefina!
Wave to Josefina!
Josefina: “Bye bye, Jo!”
I’m packing Josefina with Proust and my vegan cookbook. So it’s not entirely bad.
