So I got a notice from the post office that there was a package for me to pick up. I didn't even think it could be from my secret santa because, as it happens, today was also my birthday. So I went there and received this strange package and I thought: "Who could be sending me a birthday present? I don't even know the name of this person?" And then it occurred to me that my secret santa had the most perfect timing.

At home I quickly opened the package (which was heavily damaged from the flight, poor thing). And in there there was the most awesome book about American National Parks. It even had a section on Joshua Tree National Park, which I visited a couple of years ago.

So I just want to really thank you, dear Secret Santa! This was really amazing!
