Nora from Dublin

Greta and I just spent 3 hours wandering through the streets of Nice at night, trying to help this lady find her hotel.
Her name is Nora, and she's from Dublin. She left her hotel to go to mass, and then became hopelessly lost. She's pretty confused - probably in the mid-stages of dimentia. And we never did find her hotel...the hotel where her luggage, including passport and identification are.

We're wondering - who the hell would let this woman travel by herself? And we're worried...hoping that she makes it to her hotel and gets back to Dublin. Greta made a pretty desperate plea with the desk clerk at the hotel that we ended up checking her into...asking him to call the hundreds of hotels in Nice to locate Nora's room. He said he couldn't but agreed to call the police in the morning.

Frick.

I'll let you know if anything else comes of this but for now, we're just tired, frustrated, and pretty confused that nothing got figured out. :-(

Hope all is well - wherever it is that you are reading this from.
