Lucianna and the theiving elves
So I really didn't think it was possible for anyone to lose there things as much as I do. It's quite ridiculous and anyone who knows me at all will tell you the same. But then I met Lu. Lu is so much fun and has become a sister. We met in the monastary and I've changed my whole trip because I knew traveling with Lu would be a great adventure. And it definetly is that. So the story goes like this. And I think I'l start and end the story like this. Over the course of about 10 days Lu lost her passport, credit cards, shoes, keys, purse, 1000 rupees, 2000 rupees (seperately), Cd with all of the pictures from our trip, notebook with all addresses, sunglasses, travelers checks, and the story goes like this. Either on the 33 hour train ride from Varanasi to Mumbai or on the 12 hour ride from Mumbai to Goa Lu got hot, so she took her money belt off and put it in her purse. By the time we got to Anjuna it was gone. Passport, travelers checks $200, and a credit card. Next on New Years eve Lu loses her purse with 2000 rupees, sunglasses, and another credit card inside. This night she also loses her shoes and then meets a poor family and decides to raise money for them. She spends the next couple hours going around collecting money for this family and gets 1000 rupees....and loses it. Oh and she finds her purse, but loses it again. Then a day or so later she looks and can't find any of our CD's with the pictures from the trip (which I am counting on since I have lost my camera). Then a day or two later she loses her notebook with all of her addresses and other extremely vital information. Then, as if this is even possible, she loses the keys to our new house. And so, on seperate occasions Lucianna lost everything over the course of a few days...everything. Passport, keys, credit cards, purse, money, Cds, notebook,sunglasses and travelers checks. And I don't quite know what to say. This is the first New Year's Eve I have lost nothing. I think my elves have found someone else to pick on. Or Lu has her own elves. Or perhaps my elves and her elves are double teaming her. We were laughing today about how funny it would be if the elves walked in the house laughing and carrying all of the things she has lost. This was their best heist yet.
