Many of my clients have heard me complain about how the US Post Office with its need for efficiency and mechanization has ruined sending fun things through the mail. It used to be you could paint a piece of wood, affix the proper amount of postage and away it would go. But no more, everything has to be uniform and BORING.In Sunday's post, Andrea Sachs wrote a great article about an island in the Galapagos called Floreana where travelers leave postcards in a barrel and other travelers go through them and deliver them by hand. The tradition was started by 18th century whalers as a way to stay in touch with family and friends in England.
