Tour de Friends - Sicily/ List of Casualties
I'm currently in Sicily, not quite able to sleep because it is only 10pm at home and 4 am here. Also, it's gorgeous.
Hazy with heat, the sky and Mediterranean blended the atmosphere together into a mystic grey-blue everywhere. We drove fast in a red convertible on windy roads past green orchards. The olive trees are combed out in straight long lines like the laundry hanging from the balconies... And that was just from the way home from the airport.
Adrian's brother greeted me at the airport wearing a hat with my photo on it:
More photos to come, of course. But let's talk about something sad instead:
So far the casualties for my Tour de Friends has amounted to the following items (some of which have been returned/replaced):
Two Flights
One pair of jeans
Two shirts
One pair of underwear
One denim skirt
Two bras
One cell phone charger
Two cell phones (I lost another one in Chicago)
And, it is very possible, at this moment that I should include in this list One small red suitcase. Yes, the ONLY suitcase I was bringing to Italy. Today, I had to go buy a pair of new underwear and a clean shirt. Keep your fingers crossed that it comes to the airport tomorrow for me to pick up. I'll let you know if you should start playing taps.
xo!
Much love from a broad abroad.

Italy? I'm jealous. Enjoy.
Behold the carnage of a globetrotter. Here's hoping the lost luggage turns up unscathed.
Of course, I am a huge believer in the notion that everyone should be greeted at airports with people wearing hats of the person they are meeting. Sure beats the heck out of the "Mr. Thomas" signs I see on occasion. ;-) I think your friend's brother has truly caught onto something.
Enjoy Italy, some fine cuisine, and wonderful Mediterranean weather.
but how did that hat get from baltimore to sicily to meet you? Im so confused.
