knew i’d forgotten to mention something..
I finally know my full address but it won’t be much use to you as this country (or at least this part of it) doesn’t have any postmen. That explains why I don’t have a letterbox either. Weird? I thought so, too. The only way to send me anything is to FedEx it to the local supermarket, Jumbo. So, in the end, it’s probably not worth bothering.
On the other hand, I can send post but have also been advised to FedEx it as sending anything the normal way can, quite literally, take months. I was going to write a postcard to my grandmother in France (who doesn’t have a computer and probably wouldn’t know what one was if it hit her in the face) but was told that I should make sure to wish her a happy Christmas, birthday and Easter, just in case!
When we went to Cuba a few years ago I seem to remember sending a postcard to my mum which arrived after I’d returned to Belgium. If that’s any indication of how slow the postal service is over here, screw it.

Hi Daniel, I’ve been thinking what an irresponsible dad I am, not knowing the postal address of either of my children, scattered as you are across the world. Now I’m kind of relieved to know that it wouldn’t actually do me any good to know it.
You could send me it anyway, just so that I feel like a proper parent
The Lucases are big in Latin America this week. Mike’s working in Mexico. You could wave to him across the water.
Keep up the blog; it’s great to have your regular news.
Is there any way you can change the photo at the top from the car-in-tunnel thingy to something more tropical?
Love, Dad.

Hi dad,
Will email you my address ASAP.
Good to hear about Mike. He said he might try and visit me at some point, if he can find a cheap flight.
Not sure if I can change the photo as it is part of the overall theme i applied but I could try a new theme. Have been experimenting with a few.
