I don't think they're making new postcards of Caracas just now...

Here is an unused QSL ("I confirm reception" citizen band CB radio) postcard.  This is part of a collection of cards that were displayed at Moline's Shell Service in Lewiston, Michigan.  I've got twenty one of them that I won at auction several weeks back.  Most of the cards show tape marks from being posted onto a wall.  I will be posting them here every so often.

Mon. night
Dear Folks.
Clyde and I are here for 2 weeks.
Our hotel is being paid for and such a place.
I will tell you about it later.  Are seeing T.V

were here too.
Love
Aunt Hazel.

From the blog, (post was in 2011)

 "The postcard I have posted here today (pun intended!), is an image of the "Great Portal of Itsukushi Shrine Aki".
The card was originally posted from an M. Agata, Japan to Walter H. Morris Esq., Crows Nest Sydney in 1919.
The accompanying photograph was taken on our trip to Japan, 90 years later, before I received the postcard, whilst visiting the magical Vermillion Gate, which, along with the Shrine (Itsukushi-jinja), still stands at Miyajima (Itsukushima) Island today.  Rightly considered to be one of Japan's most beautiful views, we were extremely lucky to arrive at high tide and witness the full effects of the floating Torii gate and shrine."

He was 64 at the time.
It may have been a sexless 2 weeks.

This may be a different Benjamin, though.
He was married to Kathryn and not Hazel.
Divorced and remarried at 64 after a sexless stay in a hotel?
Could be!
