The Postcard Race: Round 4: June on Amorgos



Since there will be three rounds from Amorgos it was important to distinguish each round and so Round 4 is "Kitty Cats of Greece" round; apologies to Patty Moore who rightly notes that the romantic portrayal of the cats on postcards in Greece, who have been cleaned up for their photo shoots, don't resemble the cats who scavenge around. BUT I say, " I would rather be a Kitty Cat of Greece on Amorgos then a cat of Istanbul."


Round 4 features "anecdotes about Amorgos". The first person to notify us (by telling us on the blog or emailing yvonne or rachel) that you have received the postcard and to relate the "anecdote about Amorgos" thing on the back will win "something mailed to you from another country!" So watch for your Kitty Cat arriving in your mailbox soon, I hope. Good Luck everyone!

Postcards for Round 4 were sent from three different mailboxes in the neighbourhood, the mailbox in Aigiali, the mailbox in Langada and the mailbox in Tholaria. Will all the post cards leave the island on the same ferry? Who knows? Will they all go to one central office for official Amorgos stamping then ferry together to Athens?It is hard to say.

Perhaps I will learn more about the postal system here on the island since tomorrow we will be visiting the main Post Office in the capital Chora, the only place one can mail a package from. We will be mailing a package to Lori and Audrhea winners of round 3. Please let us know when the winning package arrives.
