Boat #261, Papua New Guinea (and coffee!)

Not only does Papua New Guinea make great boat stamps, they also produce some great coffees. The best of the best is roasted right here in Ann Arbor by coffee guru Allen Leibowitz of Zingerman's Coffee Company. Feeling impulsive? Buy some great beans at: http://www.zingermanscoffee.com/our-coffees/zingermans-papua-new-guinea/

Boat #267, China

Not only does this stamp come with a handsome cancellation, it also features a bonus train, plane, and truck. What a deal!

Boat #282, São Tomé and Príncipe

São Tomé and Príncipe is a Portuguese speaking island nation off the coast of equatorial West Africa. I'm not sure if Leif had a chance to visit, but if he did he may have found the beard to be a bit much for the climate.

Boat #287, Comoro Islands

There are certain stamps that I don't pay much attention to until I happen to scan them and see them enlarged on the computer screen. This is one of those stamps. I love the patchwork sails especially.
