In case you read earlier versions of this blog, here is an update about my "stolen" passport. I sent the following email to update the people in my life:
Dear Family and Friends,
I'm writing
to you from Spain on the last two days before heading back to NYC after
making a big discovery: my passport was stuffed in a book! That means
my assumption that it was stolen from the hotel in Jordan is WRONG. I
want to apologize for any bad seeds that might have been planted in your
minds after hearing my woes about the stolen passport. I'm feeling
very sheepish! I am also being humbly reminded to assume best
intentions about people, which I didn't do about the hotel workers in
Jordan. It was an honest mistake and I learned a few lessons from it:
use the
hotel lock box anyway, get another set of eyes to help you look for your
passport especially if you're looking frantically, and finally shake
out your books.
It seems silly to send out a message
like this but I think it's important to set the record straight and I'm
smiling as I write this email because it's just like me to get myself
caught up in something this. Oh well!
Hope everyone is enjoying the change of season and all the best to those heading back to school.
Happy Fall!
