Cover - Guatemala

I got this second cover, a registered cover from Guatemala too recently. This one is also an FDC. However it was not sent on the date of issue. There are two dates on the cover. The date of issue of the cover, which is 17th Dec. 2012 and the date of sending which is 27th Aug. 2013.

I find this cover quite fascinating. The stamp on the cover front is from the 2012 release of nine stamps by Guatemala Post marking the end of the calendar known as Baktun 13 and the start of a new era. Its another story how the media interpreted and invented the end of the world based on this calendar.

Cover - Guatemala, Country #74

Got my first ever cover from Guatemala a few days back. Was shocked to receive it in the state I did. The registered post label was pasted right over the mini sheet. Wonder why they had to put it there. They could have always put it at the back. Insensitive workers at the post offices. Anyway, luckily I could carefully get it off without damaging the sheet or the cover. A sigh of relief!!!!

The cover with the label pasted right on top of the sheet.

After I was able to take the label off the sheet.
