umm...where is my passport?

yeah, so this one is quite embarrassing:

Yesterday, after arriving here in Antioch, Thomas asked us all to give him our passports. I instantly feel fear grip me as I realized that I had left my coat on the bus that we rode here which had my passport in the pocket. I ran out of the hotel and to the bus station where I frantically explained to a man who spoke English what my problem was. He most calmly said, "you come from Samsun? I know where that bus is. Follow me." The bus had not left yet!
I found the bus and my coat and passport were there. I was relieved but so mad at myself since I have been obsessive-compulsively checking to make sure I have my passport at all times. Now, I am the only one of the team to have misplaced it. Everyone was surprised that it was me to have that happen to because they know how much I have been aware of where my passport is. Oh well, it had to happen to one of us at least once after all this traveling, right?
