The Postcard Race: Round 11 “The Beach Round"

It is time for the beach round of the postcard race, no facts, no figuring, no educational tidbits, simply postcards and stickers.

By now you know the rules; first to report receipt wins a prize; something mailed to them from another country.

Strangely it was very difficult to even find any postcards in this tourist zone. Perhaps postcards are disappearing and Uruguay is on the cutting edge of this terrifying trend!

I know that several places I obtained postcards had to pull out ancient cards that they thought they would never sell. Finally we encountered a photographer in Valizas who still kept the faith and made postcards.

Though it costs 17 pesos to mail an international postcard, very few of those stamps could be found, so we had to piece other stamp currencies together. We also had to go to three towns to gather the required amount of stamps.

So look for a postcard like the ones pictured above to arrive in your mailboxes soon!

GOOD LUCK CONTESTANTS!
