Postcard from Palmer

[barondave]

Just got the postcard mailed from Palmer Station in Antarctica... December 5. And that one went through Denver! I was, I think, the only one on the expedition to send postcards from Palmer. Nice to know that they're finally here. So far, of the non-US postcards, only two have arrived. Only the one mailed from Ushuaia Argentina on Dec. 6 took less than a months: Received Dec. 27. When they said cards might not get there until Easter, they weren't kidding.

Fortunately, I waited until getting back to Miami to mail the majority of post cards.

I think it's cool that you sent postcards back to yourself. One of my recent favorite books is based on the author sending herself postcards while she was taking a year to live in Europe. She used the cards to remind herself of her adventures while she was there, and in the book the postcards are included at the beginning of each chapter. Very fun to read and created an "I want to be Alice Steinbach" feeling. Without Reservations: the Travels of an Independent Woman is the name of the book, by the way, and I highly recommend it.
