Mail service has been reinstated between the United States and the nearby island nation of Cuba. Last week saw the posting of the first batch of mail between the U.S.A. and Cuba since 1963. It's been over fifty years since any mail has passed between the two countries without a gross amount of hassle and regulations involved. It may seem like a small step, but I think the ability for friends and family members to speak to one another for the mere price of postage can have a huge impact to our cultural relations.

Vices included vintage cameras, red wine, dusty mystery books, vintage detective radio shows, silent movies and cupcakes.
Fantastic! It's about time! Yeah!🇨🇦

Yes -- so very cool! I'm sort of embarrassed to say that it never occurred to me that you COULDN'T send mail directly to Cuba. I guess I think of the Postal Service as being non-partisan and universal... But politics will have their way. Glad to see that freedom is returning to this area of the post!
