RU-5405900

This is an official from Russia but the card is actually from USA. Nastya sent me an envelope with this and also an ukranian card + a tea bag. 

RU-5405900, sent by Nastya.
Annisquam Harbor Light Station, formerly known as Wigwam Point, was first established in 1801 and is now one of the oldest light stations in Massachusetts. The original wooden octagonal tower was replaced around 1897 by the existing brick tower. The site includes elements of the original light station complex (completed by 1814), such as the keeper's house and an oil house. An elevated wooden walkway leads to the 41-foot tall, cylindrical tower, which rests on a stone foundation. An enclosed brick passageway provides access to the tower. The lighthouse protects mariners from dangerous obstacles including long sandbars and a rocky shore along the Annisquam River. - in: https://www.nps.gov/nr/travel/maritime/ann.htm
