Usually our mail sits at the stateside spot until there is a team that is coming this direction and is willing to be the modern day pony express for us. That and the fact that mailing packages here can wind up costing a fortune - on the US side and then again on the foreign side. Ugh - can you say 'DUTIES'?
We've only gotten actual, in the hand, foreign addressed mail 3 times in our time outside the US. One was a Christmas card we got in time for Valentine's day, another was a package from a friend who knows how to stuff a box and use the apartado (foreign PO box) of a close friend, and now....
THIS came last Friday!
It only took 3 1/2 weeks and $7 usd.
I know of another package in transit. This one apparently has chocolate in it so we'll see if it makes it here intact.
Amazing...
Thank you Jim and Elaine - we LOVE the calendar!!
