Today on the walk we passed this mailbox. The photo hides it but it was mounted on a pole at about the height of a typical US rural mailbox. But note that it was pointed upwards instead of sideways so it caught my attention. And it looked like a typical rural US mailbox. Then I noticed that it said “US Mail” on top. Cool. For some reason I (totally unconsciously) opened it up. And to my shock, there was a loaf of bread inside! That’s when I realized I was looking inside someone’s private mailbox. I quickly closed it and hoped no one in the house saw me do that.
We get a kick out of the fact that people in Spain get bread delivery just like we in the US get newspaper delivery. In the photo I posted yesterday of the older woman waving out the window, her bread delivery person had just left bread in her window sill. We often see bread in a bag hanging on gates and such.
