Outgoing mail

Yesterday I went to the Post Office to send a few letters and postcards that I wrote in the last few days: Vesna (Slovenia), Samrana (England), Barbara (Finland), Liz (Belarus), Manuela (Portugal) and Liao (China). I hope they will get them soon, although the girl at the post office told me that they would take between 6 and 8 weeks to be delivered ... Very slow, but I hope they'll get them safely.

So I'm getting ready to send some postcards and  letters this week.

I got these postcards from Ines, my favorite is the first one, but I like all of them.

A letter from China

From China

Also, my friend Ines sent this envelope with a nice card and some postcards. I really enjoy writing with her, because we're learning a lot about each other cultures.

Still with our crappy mail service

Do you remember that we had some trouble with our postal service in Venezuela ? I wrote about it a while ago here. Well, it was supposed that we would be able to send mail to all American countries again, but at this time we still can't do that. But things are now worse: besides all American countries, now we can't send mail to certain African countries, and Belarus. I don't have pen pals in any of the banned African countries, but I have a new pal in Belarus and I can't send her anything at this moment. Today I'll write again to our postal service's customer office to see if they have a date for the resolution of this problem, and I'll keep you updated.

4 things #10


I'm back !!! It was a great week with my family at Cubiro, a small town in Lara State, here in Venezuela. I did everything I had planed: Ate a lot of good food (except goat), I took a lot of pictures (you can see a few here), had a great time with my family and I bought some nice handmade things (some for me, some for my girlfriend).

During the week I was away, I got I letter from the USA (I'll post about it later). I still don't know if I can send letters to America normally (I didn't have time to go to the post office, and I didn't get an answer yet to a mail that I sent to them).

So, this week I plan to:

1.- Write at least 2 letters.
2.- Get some new addresses on Postrcrossing and send the postcards.
3.- Update this blog more frequently.
4.- Keep updating my Flickr album.
