Our phone rang this morning, not the cell phone or the magic jack phone but the apartment phone - I had no idea it even worked. Turned out to be Lola from the office calling to tell us that our mail had arrived. Mike got dressed and went to get it but came back with only a slip of paper and instructions to go to the post office to pick up our package. We headed into town a little warily, wondering how much they were going to make us pay to get our mail from them. As it turned out it was really easy, show a passport, sign your name, pay a dollar and voila the box was handed over. The mail took about 2 1/2 weeks to get to us but there were a couple of holidays in there; not the speediest but at least we now have it.
After having lunch we headed back to the apartment where Mike spent the next 3 or so hours going through the mail and 'shredding' while i spent the next two hours trying to get the smoke out of the apartment.



Mike: I don't have a shredder here so I burned all the envelopes the mail came in!!
We still have to be wary of identity theft you know!
