So, apparently the snooze button on my alarm clock doesn't work... I woke up accidentally at 8:45 and, because I didn't have all that girly stuff to worry about (hair, makeup, what to wear, etc.) I was only a little late for my two simultaneous posters. I even met some interesting people at both posters in those fleeting minutes I spent at each one. The good news is I wasn't the only one in jeans and it is pretty common, according to those I talked to, for the airlines to lose your luggage for a few days when traveling Internationally.
I also had lunch with some fellow Young Scientist Program (YSP) attendees. The lunch place at the conference had a fine collection of bread, and more bread. So we opted for a nearby Italian place which was very good... but water "without gas" was 6.50 euros for a large bottle (that's a little over $10). And yes, you do have to ask for water "without gas". They must have decided that if gas makes cars go, it MUST be good for people!
Guess what? Word on the street is that my luggage has just arrived 15 minutes ago at the airport! They will drive it over sometime in the next 2-4 hours. I've never been so excited to use hair gel and smell the refreshing scent of clean clothes! It's 61 degrees here so it's too cold for me to go outside without my new jacket. So, I'm currently spending quality time with my few remaining hours of internet access in my hotel room. Not much longer and I'll be free to explore in clean clothes and fresh hair! I may even take a picture with my new camera that is in my suitcase (I hope it still is...).
