Life is full of new experiences, especially when traveling in a different country. Usually you should allot twice as much time to get anywhere and anticipate spending twice as much on just about everything, including mail.
Ok, so the post office isn’t a daily venture for me in “real life.” The mail COMES to my house; I can BUY stamps from a machine; and I usually don’t MAIL things because the things I would MAIL, I would MAIL to the people I SEE.

We off-loaded a few with our friends in Salta, but accumulated a few more items that were impossible to continue to carry with us. No, it’s not wine, however, I keep telling Jared those bottles really aren’t that big (but when thinking SMALL, we also need to consider weight). It’s tricky.
