Greetings from Home

I got a great surprise this week.  Mom and Dad sent me a package!  Thank goodness it actually arrived (intact!)  It was great to have a little something special from home.  Wanna know what was in it?

4 POUNDS OF PEANUT BUTTER
1 POUND OF JELLY


and a lot of love <3


So it was sort of an adventure to get it.  Apparently the security of Argentinean mail is top notch.  Whilst I could see my sweet package sitting there, behind the counter, they made me wait over two hours to receive it.  I took a number, and after about 15 minutes I was called back.  They took my form stating I had a package and I hoped to receive said package.  Not so fast.  Instead, they handed me another number and told me to take a seat!  I waited, and I waited, and I waited and then I waited some more.  Everyone was waiting and no one was leaving with packages.  It was very stressful for everyone in the room.  The trip wasn't a total bust though, I did learn some new inappropriate words from a very angered and distressed Argentinean.  At least the bureaucracy of this country bothers them as well.  Then, when I finally was called the second time, I had an interview.  The very serious postal worker asked me what was in the package.  HELLLOOO???? I am receiving this package!  How in the world should I know what is inside it!?!?!?!?!?!?! I explained this somewhat calmly and eventually left with love from home hugged tightly in my arms.


All is well that ends well... so now I must go off and enjoy a wonderful Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich

Bon Apetit!
