after a day of packing up the wagon in the downpour provided by hurricane hanna yesterday, we managed to hit the road this morning. i'll skip the parts involving getting drenched while securing the roof box, our realization that all our stuff would not fit, and a last minute dash to the post office.
the PO window closed 10 minutes prior to our arrival and that of our three boxes of shoes, jackets, and precious rice cooker. eventually, we had to beg louise, the mail clerk, that there was no way we'd make it to another town's post office before closing time. for added effect, we explained that we were moving TO MISSOURI and that we were hoping to leave first thing in the morning. mind you, this whole conversation transpired through the gap in "stamped mail" slot.
i am happy to report that louise eventually relented.
