Regardless of that fact, the are a lot of Es on this postcard.
The stamp in question, issued in 2016, is foiled, so hopefully the photo does it justice. Showing the silhouette of a person, the translation of the message is: “You can stop bullying, don’t ignore it at your school”.
Thanks, Eva, for this unique sending.

The postcard was mailed on 27 August. I sent several of these, and they have arrived (if they have so!) to Canada and the USA unusually late.
ReplyDeleteIt took around 18 days then, about a week longer than expected. I wonder where it has been all this time? Other than a little scuff from the sorting machine, it doesn't have any real evidence of its adventure.
Delete18 days are too much! It's strange, because since I'm in Spain again, I'm enjoying the "normal" speed of mail. Something happened with these postcards. Maybe because the address isn't written in the usual form/space...?
DeleteI have no idea, as there are no signs on the postcard. I am just happy it made it in the end.
DeleteAn interesting and important theme. Sometimes the delay is the post equal weight exchange between countries although Spanish post is usually quite quick. It will remain a mystery of the post.
ReplyDeleteI think this is the longest time any mail has taken to get there from Spain.
DeleteI also received postcards from Eva that seem to have took longer than normal travel time. I'm glad the pieces still make their way to us! Eva sends beautiful postcards and I just love her handwriting.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Maria.
DeleteHer writing is exceptionally legible considering how small it is.
Deletea lot of E's with just one stamp.. well done!
ReplyDeleteI just find it a bit funny that 18 days is considered late for mail delivery by some.. for me it is quite the average and normal :P
When I lived in Morocco, it was normal. Even quick! But, from Spain, mail usually travels faster (and it is more expensive, too). By the way... have you got the postcard as well? :)
DeleteYes, 18 days would be long even from Morocco :)
DeleteAn important theme for a stamp; gland it arrived eventually.
ReplyDeleteI like that the foil draws your attention to the stamp, and thus the theme.
DeleteSome messages take a long time.
ReplyDeleteSo true! Worth the wait.
