A very slow parrot

This great envelope from Katerina took a very long time to get here due to the pandemic. For a while the Greek post office was not accepting any items to send to the USA (although I could send to Greece). It hasn't been exactly speedy since resuming, either. This colorful envelope was posted in May, and arrived in July.




Finally it arrived with all of its great contents! It was well worth the wait.







Do you have a mail story that happened because of the pandemic?

  1. Hi Phil, sounds like your envelope took the long & winding scenic route. No stories of long trips this time, but my sister in Louisiana mailed a puzzle to me on a Monday and it arrived in Massachusetts on the Wednesday!

  2. I have been writing to someone in Denver and each of our letters (since Feb) have been taking exactly one month! So, our monthly exchanges have now become bi-monthly as we await replies.

    1. The coronavirus has impacted time in so many ways, and the mail has not gone unaffected.
