Almost to the Kingdom!
We’re near the end of our summer break having a great time with family & friends but struggling to get Eileen’s visa processed. The problem has to do with her diplomas from the two schools she attended, one for her undergraduate & the other for her teaching credential program. Since we are dealing with several organization to process the visa it has been frustrating. Mine was processed quickly because at least one of the schools I attended was part of some U.S. nation wide database of schools, thought not all the schools are in that database.
Unfortunately, Eileen’s visa will be processed after our scheduled departure date of the 22nd of August. I will have to leave without her which is a real bummer but at least she will be able to join me. There was a time we thought she may not able to & that was quickly dismissed when ISG stated that they wanted her there one way or another.
So attached is a photo of my visa. Eileen’s will look the same but she is far better looking. Soon I’ll be taking off for a very, very long trip to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia with Eileen not to far behind. Write more later.

Good morning how are you?
My name is Emilio, I am a Spanish boy and I live in a town near to Madrid. I am a very interested person in knowing things so different as the culture, the way of life of the inhabitants of our planet, the fauna, the flora, and the landscapes of all the countries of the world etc. in summary, I am a person that enjoys traveling, learning and respecting people's diversity from all over the world.
I would love to travel and meet in person all the aspects above mentioned, but unfortunately as this is very expensive and my purchasing power is quite small, so I devised a way to travel with the imagination in every corner of our planet. A few years ago I started a collection of used stamps because trough them, you can see pictures about fauna, flora, monuments, landscapes etc. from all the countries. As every day is more and more difficult to get stamps, some years ago I started a new collection in order to get traditional letters addressed to me in which my goal was to get at least 1 letter from each country in the world. This modest goal is feasible to reach in the most part of countries, but unfortunately it’s impossible to achieve in other various territories for several reasons, either because they are countries at war, either because they are countries with extreme poverty or because for whatever reason the postal system is not functioning properly.
For all this I would ask you one small favor:
Would you be so kind as to send me a letter by traditional mail from Saudi Arabia? I understand perfectly that you think that your blog is not the appropriate place to ask this, and even, is very probably that you ignore my letter, but I would call your attention to the difficulty involved in getting a letter from that country, and also I don’t know anyone neither where to write in Saudi Arabia in order to increase my collection. a letter for me is like a little souvenir, like if I have had visited that territory with my imagination and at same time, the arrival of the letters from a country is a sign of peace and normality and an original way to promote a country in the world. My postal address is the following one:
Emilio Fernandez Esteban
Avenida Juan de la Cierva, 44
28902 Getafe (Madrid)
Spain
If you wish, you can visit my blog www.cartasenmibuzon.blogspot.com where you can see the pictures of all the letters that I have received from whole World.
Finally I would like to thank the attention given to this letter, and whether you can help me or not, I send my best wishes for peace, health and happiness for you, your family and all your dear beings.
Yours Sincerely
Emilio Fernandez
