"The Postcard Race": Round 10; December in Buenos Aires

Just near our apartment, on Peru Street, is a little place where you can use the internet, make telephone calls, buy stamps, mail packages under 1 KG and probably do other things too. The woman pictured runs the place and she handles multiple inquires , takes money, makes change and happily tackles whatever comes her way. A true inspiration! She has mailed, and as you can see, date stamped everyone of the Round 10 postcards. Though I have paid many visits to her establishment I have yet to ask her name. But she was happy to have her photo taken and liked the idea of "The Postcard Race".

It seems that many contestants have yet to receive Round 9 cards mailed from Sao Paulo; so, for round 10 strict guidelines have been followed. All postcards have been mailed from the same place, those outside major centres dwellers got a head start, former winners were given a handicap. I am very confident that before very long, perhaps even before the new year, we will have a winner for round ten.

So you know the rules, the first person to report receiving a postcard from Buenos Aires, looking something like the ones below, and to let us know the "fact" written on the back will receive, "something mailed to you from another country". This time the prize will be coming from the wilds of Uruguay where we will be spending January, first on an eco-ranch and then on the beach at Punta del Diablo. Who knows what we might find and hopefully a post office will be involved.

Good Luck everyone!

happy holidays!
