"The Postcard Race Round #6 "Gifts of the Greeks"



Thanks to our guest mailers for Round #6, Yuli and Yorgos, our lovely hosts, who dropped the postcards into the Aigiali mailbox.

We are halfway through contestants, so stick with the program. It is hard to believe that we have not heard, even a peep, from some of our contestants after six rounds. If we don't hear from these people after this round we will begin elimination, YES, you either know or don't know who you are, BUT you can get eliminated from The Postcard Race just like you can be "thrown off the island"! Don't let it happen people! Simply report receiving your postcard. After all, the next round is from Italy and it's going to be "fantastico."

Round 6 is the "Gifts of the Greeks" Round. They brought so much to western civilization, it's astounding. The first person to notify us (by telling us on the blog or emailing yvonne or rachel) that you have received your postcard and to relate the "Gift from the Greek" on the back will win "something mailed to you from another country!" So watch for your postcard, which may look something like the ones below.
Prizes for the Round 5 winners were mailed from Amorgos' Main Post Office. Please let us know when the packages arrive.
"Buena Fortuna" everyone!

Rachel & Yvonne - please don't eliminate me!!! I have received 4 postcards and 1 very cute red Banksy shirt for Finn. Thank you so much, it is by far the coolest piece of clothing in my house!

I promise I will answer this round, but my postcards always seem to arrive way after the winner has been announced.

Very much enjoying the updates -
Happy travels!
