The story of the traveling underpants

You know how when you're moving around a lot, or heck, any time you are living out of a suitcase, and you get home and you realized that you Did leave your toothbrush in that cup by the sink?

Well, I've been doing pretty well to keep all of my stuff together considering the amount of moving we do. I've been on the road for 40 days and in that time have stayed the night in 18 different places.

I'm pretty proud to say that I've done really well to not lose much even with all of this moving (I'm not the best person when it comes to being thorough or checking details). I think I left a black long-sleeved in Ireland somewhere, I lost one toothbrush, a razor, and a brand new tube of toothpaste.

And then there was Yohan's place in the French countryside. We packed up our stuff same as always, did a check-through of the area (during which I noticed the strings of a bag that I own on the floor-but thought to myself "No, surely that bag is in my backpack") and then we made a dash for the train

Well it turns out that my noticing was correct, because when I went to find a pair of clean underwear after our evening of camping in Avignon it turned out that that little bag in which I had stored them was most definitely not in my backpack.

I got in touch with Yohan, and sure enough there it was under a chair. After a few emails, he had Pierpaolo's Italian address (this was our next stop) and promised to send me the package immediately.

We left Peirpaolo's house on a day after the mail had arrived and there was as yet no box for me.

So, I've now given Pierpaolo the address of the second farm that I'll be working at in northern Italy and he has promised to send the box there as soon as it has arrived.

Okay you're probably wondering what I'm doing in the meantime? Don't worry about it, I had my clean and dirty stuff separated and miraculously there were a few pairs that I get to rotate through and hand wash.

Embarrassing. Kinda a pain. And now I can say that a Frenchmen and an Italian have sent me lingerie. Haha oh my!
