I bought a beautiful leather bag in Costa del Sol, Spain when I was 20. My sister and I bartered for it. I used it as a book bag in grad school and my first year teaching at a little private school in the U District of Seattle. I kept the bag in a cupboard...and it got stolen (as well my wallet and address book) from the cupboard. The school was trendsetting....the doors were locked and you had to be buzzed in. The day it was stolen, two classes were on a field trip, and someone must have slipped inside, grabbed my bag from the cupboard. It was all so bizarre. Like, how did they know where to look? I tried to find a replacement, but was unsuccessful. I think about that bag all the time. It makes me sad.
I’m glad you let me convince you we should buy it. It always reminds me of that tip and the fun we have traveling

That makes me sad, too. I’m so sorry. 😞
