Have you heard of "Letterboxing"? While working at the Museum today, a young lady came in and asked for a stamp pad. "I beg your pardon; what do you need?" (It was such a strange request, I wasn't sure I heard correctly.) "An ink pad. I need it for a scavenger hunt." ~~ This was only my second time working at the Museum so I'm quite a novice. However, I had observed an ink pad on the desk in the office and gave it to her. As she disappeared out the door, I wondered if I'd ever see her again.
Moments later I saw the figure of a person outside one of the opaque windows. Later, a man entered the museum with our stamp pad and explained how he--and his daughter--are traveling around--following a map--looking for hidden objects. As I understood it: There is a rubber stamp that identifies this destination (Mexico Museum) and the participant stamps his/her notebook. Father/daughter's ink pad was dry so no image. ~~ Isn't that interesting??
FYI: I've added pictures--and details--to several blogs that follow "A new chapter is being written." I wanted the information in chronological order.
(1) Heating water for tea. (2) Time for a shower. (3) Amenities not found in my T@B. (4) Watching "Good Morning America." (5) The view. (6 & 7) Leaving for work. (8) "Work" at the Mexico Museum. (9 & 10) The window referenced....
