Return to Travel

I’ve lamented on this blog for the past few months how the pandemic has created a shortage of my normal supply of postcards. Although, I’ve managed to find some creative ways to get postcards coming in (see prior posts). But they haven’t been enough and I’ve been in serious postcard withdrawal.

Until recently…

A friend in the United States, where they are far ahead of Canada in vaccinations, sent me a postcard from their nearby travels. My first fix in ages:

Oregon is one of the few U.S. states that I’ve never been to. So while this postcard does satisfy my craving, it does make me wish I could travel beyond the 10-blocks of my home that has been my prison for months.

Here is the back of the postcard:

Postcard caption:
“Oregon Coast. Cape Kiwanda.”

Postcard message:
“Hi Glen. Here is one for your collection. We are here for our version of ‘March Break’ – the 16 year old goes back to in-person school when we get back. Will be super weird!”

Shortly after receiving this postcard, I received another travel postcard from another American friend. Perhaps things are starting to return to normal now?!?
