Outgoing mail

Today I wrote a postcard and an introduction letter for Lizelle, one of my new pen pals that I met through this awesome Facebook group. She's from South Africa, and my first pen pal from that mysterious continent. I don't know how long will it take to arrive there, but I hope it won't be so long. But I'll try something: I'll send the postcard as "normal" mail, and the letter as "certified" mail, to see if it makes a difference.

4 things #1

I've seen this on many blogs, so I decided to give it a try. This week, I want to do these 4 things:

1.- Start reading a new book.

2.- Wash my car.

3.- Throw away a lot of old and useless stuff from my desk.

4.- Take some pictures to try the Harris Shutter Effect.

I think I'll be able to do it :) Next Sunday I'll post the results of this.

Outgoing mail (Updated)

Today I finished replying some letters from my new pals, all of them are introduction letters, so they're shorter than usual, because the first 1 or 2 letters are the most difficult for me. Also, I wrote an introduction letter to another pal, and I'm sending a couple of postcards for another friend. Tomorrow I'm going to the post office to send letters to Manuela (Germany), Mariell (Norway), Andreea (Romania), Barbara (Finland) and Linda (Italy). I hope to not have any problem at the post office with one of the letters, because I enclosed something else on the envelope (and I hope it will arrive in one piece, too).

Talking about postcards, tomorrow I'll be sending the last two I had at home, so I'm going to buy some more during the weekend.

Update: I just came back from the post office, and I decided to send them certified, because I think it will be a little bit faster and safer (and it isn't as expensive as it's on another countries).

This is one of the postcards that I got from Postmuse, as part of her Orphaned Postcard Project. I won't say here why did I choose it, instead I'll write it on the postcard and mail it back to her. Although I'm Venezuelan, this is the first time that I get a postcard from here.
