May's mail

May 31st, already!? Well, time for the monthly post then!

May definitely was a good mail month. I got 15 letters!


15 letters, that means 0.48 letters per day, or around a letter every 2 days.
Average distance traveled: 2544.27 km
Shortest distance traveled: 755 km, from Eraclea, Venice, Italy
Longest distance traveled: 8973 km from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Wishing you a nice June month, full of mail! <3

Greetings from Annecy!

Hmm, well, not exactly, as I'm back now, but today I had a day trip in Annecy! It's a lovely town in Savoy, not so far from Switzerland, and about 150 km away from Lyon, where I live.
It's famous for its lake, where I spent quite a lot of the day, actually.
Here are some pictures I took:

Too bad I didn't bring some letters with me, because it would have been so great to write there!

So after spending some time enjoying the sun (and getting sun burnt >.<) I walked around the city and found some interesting things...

First, postcards. They're so cheap there! I got these 10 cards for only 3.50 euros! When I buy postcards in Lyon, I pay 1 euro per card, so for 10 cards I would have paid 10 euros.
I'll send them with the 10 next letters I'll write :)

Second, a lovely tea shop where I found my favourite kind of tea: rooibos tea. It's so damn hard to find some, usually.

And lastly, I found stationery! Two nice letters sets. And I paid only 4 euros for these 2 boxes! So great!


Sounds like I will definitely do back to Annecy one day... :)

Letter writing party (the end)

I kept on writing these last days and finally I'm all caught up! Here are the four letters that were left in my pile:

Lighthouses to Norway:

I really like this envelope but I wouldn't know how to describe it. I mean, I don't really know what's the theme of the design :S Anyways, it's currently travelling to Italy:

Orange flowers on the way to Poland:

And the last one is an air mail envie, flying to Brazil!

I didn't expect to be so fast with all these replies! Anyways, that was a great letter writing party. Definitely my favourite kind of parties, hehe! 
Now I'm gonna give my wrist a break before starting replying to the three letters I found in my mailbox this morning!
