Years ago, a friend often told me stories of when he & his family traveled to the Galápagos Islands. They absolutely loved everything about it – beaches, people, lifestyle.

Reading about the mailing system on Floreana Island, I smiled & thought of him. National Geographic reports a historic, unofficial system where visitors leave unstamped postcards in a wooden barrel, not a building, for other travelers to hand-deliver. No building, employees, stamps or services.

When you’re on the beautiful Floreana Island remember, do your part & deliver some mail!
