The Passport's in the Mail

l just put my American passport in an envelope, sealed it up, and mailed it to Frankfurt along with the requisite funds, forms, and foto. Before I did it, I had official copies made and stamped. I am identifiable. I am also feeling very vulnerable! When you're an expat, the Passport is the only thing between you and potential disaster. Parting with it, even when you're in possession of a legitimate copy is a lot like one of those dreams where you're moving your mouth , but nothing comes out. lt's time to sit under the Bhodi-tree!!!
