the great event in the year is tonight.

so adam and i have had an amazing trip so far.
we've had lots of spanish adventures in big cities, beaches, buses, and today we got to experience a flight on ryan air for 5 euros.

i have been thinking about blogging about it all, but today just trumped everything.

we got on ryan air in great spirits. a flight to madrid for the price of a coke? yes please.
everything was fantastic until adam discovered (an hour and a half after the flight landed) that
HE LEFT HIS PASSPORT ON THE PLANE.

frantic. tears. helplessness. wanting to communicate in spanish but not really being able to. a lady said that the airline would have to find it, call when they landed, call the ONE lady that knew it was missing, and she would have to find us at our hotel to tell us IF they found it.

also the stupid shuttle didn't come so we had to pay TWENTY euros (which is like 35 dollars) for a five minute cab ride. come on personas.

so we're sitting in a room in a foreign country with NO idea what to do. seeing as we have to leave the country in like 15 hours we're a little upset. i probably would leave him we decided though. every man(n) for themselves is our motto. (our other motto is always take pictures in a photo booth.)

we start talking about how about 50 things need to go right for this passport to be found and how, let's be honest, it might not happen soon - BOOM the phone rings. they found it.

hallelujah.

so now we're going to go back to the airport to get it. the great event in the year is tonight!

we'll be home tomorrow. back in the united states, land that we love. especially because we don't have to split our brains to communicate.
