Today we mailed Iowa postcards to a family in Australia, a 10-year old named Jordan in the U.K. and a girl named Susana in Italy. The Lonsdale family in Australia indicated they'd mailed out a postcard to us already. Willa is anxiously waiting and predicting how long it would take a post card to travel around the world. I read Willa's postcards before she sent them out; her note to Jordan said "You know, I'm the artistic tipe, I like art. What tipe are you? From Willa". There's not enough room to go into too many other types.
Our second ePals endeavor is an online penpal. Last night Willa sent her first email to Julia, an eight-year-old in Wooster, OH. Through the ePals system, I set Willa's account up under my own (so I can monitor her emails and forum postings).
Our intention is to put up a big bulletin board in the basement; with a map of the world where we can track our correspondences, and a place to post our postcards.
If anyone wants to join our postcard exchange, post a comment!
