so after all these months of losing my passport, running around to find it, stressing, forking out hundreds of dollars, being stuck in third countries, missing events, meetings, school and the general pain in the but of being unrecognized... i finally found my passport! i went to the airport to change my flight to return and Lufthansa had it. someone found my travel bag with my Lufthansa ticket and gave it to the airline! why they, or the police never took it to the police beats me! i lost it in somerville, MA and it ended up at the airport? crazy! anyway... my visas in the passport don't count anymore-except for one of them. but i get to keep all my stamps and old photos again. yeah! what a pain!

life is very strange!
