The package for Christmas, we sent in November, has now reached Wisconsin, two weeks after the package to California has arrived Lincoln. So I guess the post ship had taken the route over India to reach the west coast of America. In the 19th century the mail needed about 10 days for 1800 miles, as you can read on ponyexpressnevada.com (California to Wisconsin is about 2000 miles), so the time hasn't changed so much.

Nevertheless, Manuel and we are all happy that the package hadn't gone lost on its long trip to America.

Merry Christmas
