Don't feel bad, Juli. There was something I wanted to send you, but I couldn't find it anywhere. And another thing I did send, I bought a box for myself, and it is not the same as it was when I used to eat them. Passable, but not as good. The Everlasting Gobstoppers. Not only were they MUCH bigger in the past and changed colors multiple times, but the center just seemed to taste a little better, too. Oh well.
My kids ask every day, "When is the candy coming?" I finally had to get out a map and show them just how far away Argentina is!
Just the name Everlasting Gobstoppers sounds cool for me :oP.
Aww, that's so sweet! I hope the candy I sent lives up to your kids' expectations! :o/
You can tell them that according to the Track & Trace service of the Argentinian Mail, your candy left Argentina on Sunday night. They told me it should take from 5 to 10 working days to get to you, so with some luck you'll be getting your parcel sometime this week :o).
Darn! The coffee / candy trolley just came by my office and I found two more things I should have sent you but I didn't. What was I thinking??
I'm grumpy right now.

Do you know what was my mailbox today? :D A sweet little taste of Chile! :) Thank Guiso, I love it! :)
I got:
#1: A lovely letter, I love your handwriting!
#2: A Chilean bus card that's actually loaded with some money so that I can travel to Chile some day! Anyway it's a cool thing to have in my wallet ;) People will think that I'm a backpacker! :D
#3 A very cool keyring(I love keyrings) that is some kinda naughty mama lol! I'd love to find out more about that :)
#4 Two very sweet bookmarks that Guiso has made herself, in one of them you can see a cute little cat! Is that your cat btw? Awesome!
#5 A Chilean comics! Even though I can't understand a word of what they're saying I really enjoy the pictures... I'll have a closer look at it tonight before going to bed :)
#6 We decided that we're going to give each other mix-tapes so that is what item number 6 is, will listen to it soon!
Thanks again, it was so exciting to open your package! :)

Yes, that's the one, lol. If it's a woman, then it's "india pícara", if it's a man, "indio pícaro".
I'm not sure about its aphrodisiac properties. Guiso will have to enlighten us about it xD.
