Post cards home

In South Africa there is mail. It's a treat to be able to communicate with family. We're happy to let them know we're thinking of them. Seems a bit silly to those who live in a place that has mail service. You don't really think about this blessing or you even complain about getting piles of mail a day. But here in the DRC, mail is non-existent. So, we found post cards of the animals we'd seen on this trip. The stamps we got commemorate the 100th anniversary of airmail service in S. Africa. They were just awesome, although getting the stamp unattached from the airplane was a bit of a challenge. If I were a stamp collector, I'd have this in my collection. Next trip, we may even try sending a package!
