Outgoing

 It’s been a busy weekend for Postcrossing. Over 30 postcards for the USPS this afternoon, destined for recipients around the world. And in more than 10 years of Postcrossing, a novelty for me- I’ll be sending a card to a Postcrosser who is also a US diplomat in Brazil. As such, I’m told I can save on the international postage rate of $1.55 per card, and instead I can send the card to a US address for 53 cents. From there, the card goes into a diplomatic pouch, and the State Department will transport it to the consulate in São Paulo. Cheaper, and faster, I’m told. This a first for me, so I’m interested to see how it works.
