Panic!!!

My bus ride to Portugal was long but uneventful, and I was met at the station by an old friend. It was not until later in the afternoon that I realised I had left my lovely watercolor, purchased in Provence, on the shelf in the bus.

We rushed to the bus station but of course the bus had already left for the return journey to Seville. No amount of phone calls or messages left on the internet got any response so we decided to be at the station the next day when the bus came in. Luckily it was the same driver and he said they had found the painting and it was at the office in Seville. Now to get it back to Lagos where I was staying. He said he would try to make arrangements to have it on the bus the next day, so we are hoping, but I feel very confident that it will all work out.
