And to be able to come home to a letter from someone meant the world. And Sarah would write me these 25, 35 front and back pages lathered in Versace bright crystal. And as I would smell the page, I would be taken out of the Bolivian countryside with its open trench sewer system. And I would just be transported back home where I was happy.
