A response to some inquiries...

I have received some inquiries about how and where to send care packages down here which I greatly appreciate. This of course is in no way expected or necessary. Here I will discuss some of the things I have been dreaming about, just as an easy and accessible way to inform those who are interested in sending something (but remember, TOTALLY not necessary)

In no particular order...
Tea
Unsalted nuts
Unsweetened, dried fruit
Ground coffee
Peanut Butter
Chocolate
Granola
Teriyaki Sauce
DVDs (Anything.. Maybe Tv shows?)
Jigsaw Puzzle
Dice
Deck of Cards
Books: Any! (especially books on Yoga and Pilates)
Teaching Supplies: Dry erase markers, pens, folders, notebook, large flash cards, large markers, post-its...
CD's for Ballet, Jazz/Hip Hop, Yoga/Pilates
LSAT book/study guide (used is fine with me)
GRE book/study guide (used :)
Anything else at all is greatly appreciated. Please don't feel obligated or go out of your way to find anything. Used books, Cds and Dvds are great!

My mailing address is:

PLEASE NOTE: If you decide to send something here to Guatemala, Please PLEASE do NOT use FedEx, UPS, or DHL. These all charge a hefty tax and I will be unable to pay for, and pick up the package and it will likely be opened by mail couriers here and will never be seen again. So please just send things regular old US Postal service.
Also, you will be asked to identify what is inside for the package to pass through customs. It is highly recommend that you not use enticing vocabulary to describe what is inside. If it is anything valuable, it is better to say it is "T-shirts" and wrap the contents in an old t-shirt. It will make it though customs without a problem, and it is less likely to be intercepted and stolen in route.

Thanks so much and again please don't feel obligated.
