Things that are not making their way here

It turns out the shipping expenses are astronomical - and that when you use the postal system here and are sending boxes that everything is delivered to the central post office and not your home. It is ridiculous to try to lug big boxes back and forth on the metro, the bus, and then uphill, so our stuff is not on it's merry way.

Which means that the movies and books we have are just about all that we have for entertainment - I mean besides the great city itself, but you can't go sightseeing all the time, and it gets cold and windy and rainy and dark out at night. SO - here's where you can come in... If you happen to one my super savvy techie friends and have a dvd burner maybe you could make a copy of your favorite movie or something and send it along our way... and that way we'll have mail (which we haven't received even an advertisement yet!!! NO JUNK MAIL - can you imagine???) but we'll also have something special just from you that you love and cherish and we can share in. Seriously.

And thanks.
