Real postcards hardly show up in our mailboxes anymore, which is why getting one feels so special.

While visiting Venice, I picked up a small stack of postcards from street vendors as I wandered the city. If you enjoyed the story of Venice and would like something tangible from that place to hold onto, I'd be happy to send you one.

While the postcard itself comes from Venice, I’ll be sending it from the Venetian city of Candia (Heraklion, Crete), where I’m currently staying.

It will be an open postcard with a short personal note, just like people used to send them in the old days.

If you decide to get one, please note that standard international mail from Greece can take about 3–7 weeks to arrive, depending on the destination. It might require some patience, but I hope it brightens your day when it finally lands in your mailbox.
