Jose Marti (1853-1895) became a symbol for Cuba's independence from Spain, and is referred to as the 'Apostle of Cuban Independence.' The stamp was issued to commemorate his 100th anniversary.
I had an African connection last week in Chad. Now we move to Djibouti.

I like the name Djibouti. And this is a pretty stamp.
Pretty Djibouti stamp with all the attractions of a distant shores. The train journey sounds interesting.
I never expected to see two posts with Djibouti stamps.
I'm curious to know how to pronounce Djibouti properly. Nice stamp :)
