Postcard from Bhutan with personalized stamps and β€œMissent to Thailand” sticker

My kid in Canada appears to be the only one of us who got one of the postcards we mailed from Bhutan in December. (You can personalize your own stamps there so this is a selfie my husband used for his stamps).

Today’s #ThrowbackThursday takes us back to 1994, when the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) was approved for construction.
