The dead battery was not the end of the drama for the day. After returning to B&B, little pouch containing $$, ATM card, credit card, and passport copy gone. VERY VERY nice proprietress of B and B drove to the zoo, the main entrance of which was closed, and the other entrance not to be found. A frantic call to emergency number did not yield helpful results. While thinking about having to bother Suzie and searching for USAA's overseas number, I felt in the pocket where I had looked three times previous, and, lo, the treasured object materialized, like magic. To quote the wise rabbi of Where is Yankela? "Where you left it, there you will find it." Very embarrassed!
