We Interupt This Broadcast......
Today has not gone well at all. As I started to unpack my plastic trash bag that was given to me back in Milford to replace the backpack I'd been using, I realized that my passport, 2 credit cards and American cash was missing. You can only imagine how I started to calmly go through the bag, piece by piece to meticulously sort things out to find it, only to become frantic at the prospect of being an individual without a country. Where did it go!!!! I am reluctant to accuse, knowing my propensity to tuck things away in pockets "where they will be safe" but having sifted through all two times now I unfortunately have come to the conclusion that foul play has been afoot. As a result, unless I am able to find free internet access in the next week, I will have to suspend this blog until I get home. Internet cafe fares are not in the new strict budget I have to see me through to next Sunday when I return. In the meantime, I'll be contacting the American Consulate and credit card companies and skipping through hoops. But don't go away. Stay tuned for the next installment. It's really just all part of the adventure - albeit one part I'd rather SKIP!!
