Even though they were living on the other side of the world, the Catalan families always kept in touch with their family and friends. In the early 20th Century it was more different to keep in touch, but everyone wanted to inform their relatives of any news in the family. A letter took more than a month to get to its destination... And not everyone knew how to read and write in those days... But a little package from the other side of the world was always highly appreciated!
