Mail is Fun

The simple things in life are the things that make me truly happy. Walks down the beach, bouquets of flowers, a good book, laughing with friends... and receiving letters from the people I love. I do not require giant packages, but coming home from Santiago to two packages and a letter is a pretty nice feeling. The stuff that people send me is never anything big, birthday cards, Christmas cards, chocolate, homemade stationary, thoughtful letters. But each and every one of them has made my day, and frequently my week. Thank you so much to everyone that has sent me a letter or a package. You should know that smiled, laughed and cried at receiving them. I have. If you send me (or have sent me) anything, I promise to send you at least a letter back. (It might take a while, but it'll get there. 

Um, I'm not hinting at anything here, but if you need ideas... for me or any other little traveler you know, here's the list I gave my aunt. 

1) chocolate. good chocolate is very hard to find. 
2) Reese's, almond joys, Heath bars, etc.
3) good tea
4) dum dum suckers
5) good gum. like Extra (the mint kind), trident (the fruity favours), hubba bubba, etc
6) stickers, like the big ones you (well I, he he) get in the doctors office 
7) cheetos, pretzels (with peanut butter inside... ohh yum, or just normal) and takis
8) adorable letters
9) your love <3

But seriously, I really only want number 8 and 9.  

these are the jewels I have received. + a chocolate orange and a box of candy canes... but, they were, um, busy, at the time of the photo. Oh. and christmas socks. but I'm wearing those XD XD

these are the letters that I have gotten. They are all adorable.

these are the Christmas and birthday cards

and more photos
but seriously. mail is awesome. just ask my sister who has to deal with a desk drawer full of my stationary. It's awesome for me and for anyone else you know living in a foreign country. so do the government a favour and mail something in real snail mail.

he he. brought to you by the US Postal Service. Jk. but seriously... mail is cool
