No Address? Use a Map! – 1/11/19

A tourist who had visited a horse farm in Iceland wanted to send a postcard to thank the woman and kind family who lived there. She didn’t know the exact address but she did know a few clues: “Country: Iceland. City: Búðardalur. Name: A horse farm with an Icelandic/Danish couple and three kids and a lot of sheep!” She also knew that the woman worked in the local market. So before leaving the Icelandic capital of Reykjavík, she relied on her memory of the place and quickly drew a map of the farm’s location on the envelope. And it worked — the letter arrived as mapped! Apparently this is not a completely unique occurrence there, as only 300,000 or so people live in an area the size of Ohio. (Source: BBC.com)
