Who, or what, is the Pauper Penguin?
While in Syria, I received a gift from a tiny antique shop: a two-inch brass penguin. It quickly became my constant traveling companion, becoming known to my fellow travelers as the Pauper Penguin, for our stingy mode of travel and often austere lodgings.
PP was always ready with a hearty, "Hello, Tourist!" and even had the great fortune of seeing former First Lady Hillary Clinton and First Daughter Chelsea at the opening of a new museum exhibit in Aswan, Egypt.
