Missing Package Found!

While I can`t say that work has gotten much better... I have definitely had my comical interludes. :)

Yesterday, I got word from Benicia that there was a package waiting for me with Victorino, Orocuina`s mail carrier. A friend and I headed to Victorino`s house to find not one but TWO pieces of mail, an Easter card and letter from Grandma (thanks Gram!), and a package from a good friend and co-worker in Wisconsin. I have to admit, I have been waiting with much anticipation for this package since JANUARY and was sure that it had been confiscated and was being enjoyed by a Honduran mail carrier... boy was I wrong! It turns out that my amazing package of specialty soaps has had quite the journey, being sent first to Barbados (!!) before finding its way to Honduras.

After laughing and thanking God for the comical start to the weekend, I tried to imagine all the hands this package has been in and all the opportunities for it not to reach me. While I could be frustrated with the amount of time it took, I have to say that I am pretty impressed (and entertained) that it actually made it to me. Oh... and grateful! :)

I am slightly obsessed with soaps... (I gave away 3 grocery bags of bath products when moving to Central America) and am SOOO excited to use my new gift and as well as share with friends! Thanks David and Gail!!

I look forward to spending the rest of my day in the hammack: (finishing inventories and..) writing letters and postcards while listening to Bachata and Reggeaton! -Abrazos
