At the post

 

Mailing a registered letter at the post should be simple ... Right?

Wrong!

Rick filled out the form. On the address for the form, he had misplaced the Cedex (box) and zip code although it was correct on the envelope.

He redid it, but the clerk, who was very pleasant, wanted a third try.

We could reduce Cedex to CDX, he said. 

Meanwhile the line was growing, 2, 4, 7 people.

The third time pleased the clerk.

In all three slips the information was there on the same line. The only difference was the positioning.

When we walked out, apologizing to the ten people now in line.

I figure they were shaking their heads about American tourists (I've had a place there for 34 years). I'm Swiss Canadian and he's Swiss. 

We went back into the sunshine laughing. What else could we do?
