Sun and smiles

So there was a package for me today, and I thought it was going to be the fan I ordered from Argos. (It's getting really hot here! ---actually I don't want to open my window too wide because there are a lot of insects e.g. wasps! But that's another story).

But then I saw the words all over it were Spanish and it wasn't exactly the right shape for a fan...
The postmark was:

And on opening....

*SQUEAL* 2 kilos of Argentinian chocolates! My "care package"! Just what I need in this difficult and stressful time of pre-exams.. So sweeeet. I was really surprised! And somehow I don't have good luck with surprises.. attempts to surprise me never really work out. So this was nice.

The sender says: "They're called alfajors, and they eat it everywhere here [in Argentina]. The ones in the ziplock bag are the artesanales ones from Bariloche, and the El Cachafaz brand is in the golden wrapper, which some say is one of the best commercial ones."

This totally made my day. Thank you! :)

And to top it off, the weather today was beautiful.
