After our trip to France this summer, I wanted to send a little giftie to my french family. What says thank you more than a big box of crazy assorted Halloween candy- you know the severed-gummy fingers and the wax vampire teeth that then become chewing gum? The girls and I had a blast picking out all sorts of junk to send. When I tried to mail it from the base, I was astounded at the cost. I don't know why it was so pricey. Maybe packages are routed through NY first before they are sent to Europe? For the price, it seemed the box could go around the world a few times before reaching its final destination. Anyway....and read carefully for the funny part of the following thought process....I thought, "It might be faster/easier if I send it through the Italian post." (Did you catch it?) So, off we went- now that I am a pro, I knew when they would be open. When we walked in, there was a number dispensing ticker tape, but I didn't take a number because we were the only one
Sharing the fun.....mostly
