In early January, I penned a Cuenca postcard to my young granddaughter in the Netherlands, stuck the necessary $3 (gasp) in stamps to it and set off to mail it from the post office far uphill from my AirBnB near Parque de la Madre. Much huffing and puffing was involved.
With all that effort, imagine my disappointment to reach the post office only to find the card had fallen from my purse pocket. Disappointment all around.
And then … Connie and Sam, whoever you are (and I hope you see this), came to the rescue.
You found the post card ready to mail, found a mailbox or post office from which to mail it, and sent it back on its way after adding a note signed “Connie and Sam. We found this on the sand.”
Now, little Abby not only has a post card from Cuenca, she has a postcard with a story from Cuenca and proof of the kindness of strangers. Treby good.
Many thanks to Connie and Sam, whoever and wherever you are.
