Early in the week, I received a States-side letter that evoked the same swell of curiousity and chill as when my community counterpart showed me a letter from the Ministry of Tourism; this time it was a letter from California's Democratic Senator Barbara Boxer.
Click on the letter to see her bona fided, rubber-stamped signature. Also, as I haven't seen high-quality paper in a long time, it was such a rewarding experience to feel and touch the "PRINTED ON RECYCLED PAPER" watermarked letter; try to find the watermarked eagle emblem on the upper right corner1. It does not take a keen, CSI-2, foresic-trained Peace Corps Volunteer to deduce from the metered postage stamp that this letter was not mailed from the States (though the envelope is purported to be from Fresno, California); rather, it was mailed from Peace Corps/Morocco office in Rabat, Morocco. I cannot think of how else 3.25dh can be put to better use!
I think I'll send Senator Boxer's office a nice thank you postcard!
1. Ignore the "2005" under the emblem; this was probably an overstocked batch of letterhead papers in attrition mode.
2. Crime Scene Investigator.
