I now have my new passport! The old one has been expired for several years, and it feels good to have an active passport again. Besides, this new one looks much nicer–even down to my photograph! Don’t think I’ve ever had a passport photo that looked this good.

I’m trying to learn a few words of Dutch since that’s the official language of Surinam. That’s been interesting…! I do have to say that it’s a heck of a lot easier to retain other languages when you’re a bit younger. But I do like to know a few words that could prove to be useful before I go to other countries. (I just may have to take a “cheat sheet” though.)

One of the artist prints is almost finished. I am enjoying creating them!
