hey, everybody

we've had a lot of questions about our mailing address. It is:

Lena Potyondy, PCT (or Nate Stone, PCT)
Cuerpo de Paz
Apartado Postal 1266-1000
San Jose, Costa Rica

we've been informed that the best thing to use, if you're not just sending a letter, is those pre-printed US Postal Service boxes - the ones that are about the size you used to get at Macy's when you had a shirt wrapped for a present, or like grandma used to send you pajamas in for Christmas. Anything bigger usually gets opened, searched, and then taxed - if we get to see any of it at all. Tax usually amounts to about 10-300% (yes, 300%) of the value of the objects inside.

We've also been asked if we need anything. DVDs are awesome, and I really would like some socks that aren't so darn hot. Besides that, we'll probably need some books in a month or so - we actually don't have very much time (or energy) to spend reading. The best thing would be just to hear from you.
