It costs 80 cents for us to send a postcard to Canada and $1.03 for them to send us a postcard....if I knew how to post a photo, I would have sent a photo of our 80-center.

ReplyDeleteI'm a big fan of snail mail of all sorts when I am off in foreign places.
ReplyDeleteAmong other things, it provides a handy step in converting your travel journal notes into a story of your trip.
Also, becoming known at the Post Office in small towns helps get you known in the community.
I wrote in praise of postcards on 9/26 and will write in praise of letters eventually.
