Hurray! We've got a new mailbox! Not yet "working", but still a new mailbox. A few days ago I mentioned that our new house is being built, and of course buying a new mailbox was a must. Unfortunately there are not many options out there (at least not here) so we had to decide between one of the plain black boring and dull options, or something more elaborate with a bit more design. There were no doubts on this point.
So here it is, our brand new mailbox. The design itself is not that special at all (you can see them regularly on the streets of Buenos Aires), and we were hoping to find something similar... but unique. Anyway, after several visits to the store, we are now totally pleased and happy with our purchase and I think it will look perfect. To be honest, I had always dreamed about having a beautiful big mailbox with a pigeon on it. For my non Spanish speaking readers, the words on the front mean "letters" (cartas) and "mail" (correo).
It will probably be put in it's place this week, but I still need to wait until early 2015 (hopefully) for us to move and start receiving my mail in this beautiful aluminum alloy piece of art.
Were you able to choose your mailbox? Are you happy with the one you have?
