Passport(s) Arrive

My new passport arrived last week. The inside pages are nicer than the old one (etchings of panoramas topped by quotes from famous Americans) but the first page is really slick.

Really. It's shiny and slippery. Instead of laminating the photo to the page, it's digitally printed on it. Nevertheless, I still look sunburned and unhappy.

The old passport arrived in the mail just a few days after that, with one of the passport photos I sent in stapled to the main page. They don't do much to invalidate the book for travel: just two holes punched in the machine-readable text. So fear not... all of your souvenir visa stamps are safe.
