Looking at the box I grew excited trying to think of how things might be different in Britain when I recieved a humorous surprise.<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_FL35UczQzlc/R-MjvNbXk7I/AAAAAAAAAZU/dwbxdTjOG7s/s1600-h/IMG_0117.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_FL35UczQzlc/R-MjvNbXk7I/AAAAAAAAAZU/dwbxdTjOG7s/s400/IMG_0117.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5180023290371478450" border="0" /></a>The Masterful, Majestic, Magnificent, Michelle from <a href="http://www.greedygourmet.com/">GreedyGourmet</a> decided to pull one over my head and actually made a delightful box of treats from the place she grew up South Africa.<br />How freaking cool is that!!!<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_FL35UczQzlc/R-MjEdbXk6I/AAAAAAAAAZM/hxILJLzfoik/s1600-h/IMG_0118.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_FL35UczQzlc/R-MjEdbXk6I/AAAAAAAAAZM/hxILJLzfoik/s400/IMG_0118.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5180022555932070818" border="0" /></a><br />She made sure it was extra secure with this foam, and warned me if something was missing that customs stole it. Luckily for me everything was there.<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_FL35UczQzlc/R-MiY9bXk5I/AAAAAAAAAZE/DImwPBPnL7I/s1600-h/IMG_0119.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_FL35UczQzlc/R-MiY9bXk5I/AAAAAAAAAZE/DImwPBPnL7I/s400/IMG_0119.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5180021808607761298" border="0" /></a><br />Her letter was fun, informative and funny. I laughed quite a few times and think she's probably a sister soul.<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_FL35UczQzlc/R-MhY9bXk4I/AAAAAAAAAY8/cgdG2jZlIVg/s1600-h/IMG_0120.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_FL35UczQzlc/R-MhY9bXk4I/AAAAAAAAAY8/cgdG2jZlIVg/s400/IMG_0120.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5180020709096133506" border="0" /></a><br />She put all these interesting treats in the box. All from South Africa. I've never seen any of these in the states before so found it to be quite an educational and tasty experience.<br />My favorite was the "p.s. your looney bar"<br /><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_FL35UczQzlc/R-Mgi9bXk3I/AAAAAAAAAY0/0NxyulA1GTA/s1600-h/IMG_0123.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_FL35UczQzlc/R-Mgi9bXk3I/AAAAAAAAAY0/0NxyulA1GTA/s400/IMG_0123.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5180019781383197554" border="0" /></a>There was also a cute zebra bookmark (great since I'm a super bookworm) a cute hand carved wooden lucky keychain. And the most magnificent hand dyed and painted african cloth. Also just happens to be in my two favorite colors of Green and Black. How cool is that.<br />So this event was a blast and I totally made out like a bandit or a pirate... you know what i mean.<br />Thank you ladies for a fantastic wonderful plethora of gifts.Angelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01702745937207929017noreply@blogger.com
