What about mail?

As mentioned in the previous story, there is no delivery of utility bills. This is not that unusual when you consider there are no street addresses either. So what about other mail? Well, we have seen a “correo” delivery person go by on his motor cycle a couple of times since we moved here but so far we haven’t gotten any mail. To make it easier for the mailman, we decided to make a mailbox for our front gate (see photo). By the way this is the first mailbox we have seen anywhere around here. Next I decided to subscribe to the Tico Times, an English weekly newspaper out of San Jose. Surely this would ensure we received mail at least once a week. The gal at the newspaper’s circulation department was a little skeptical and promised 2 weeks free before she charges my credit card just to make sure the paper really makes it here. Week one has now come and gone and still no paper. Monday we are going to go to the post office in person and see if perhaps they have it there…I'll keep you posted!
