One down...

...thirteen to go. On April 20th I mailed a boatload of postcards from Edinburgh. They were all clearly addressed with international postage. I took them to the post office, checked with an employee who directed me to add an "air mail" sticker to each and then pointed out the slot that the letters would go in. A month goes by and no one had gotten a single one, not even Helen who lives in England and is a mere three hours from Edinburgh. Until a couple days ago I had given up hope...then Michel sent me this:

Whew! Her Majesty's Postal Service has slightly redeemed herself. Stay tuned to see if I get my postcard from Michel from his Madrid vacay!
