Lost luggage

Not even the Pope is immune to the whims of lost luggage.

Paraguayan president Nicanor Duarte showed up for his audience Monday with Pope Benedict XVI empty-handed after his luggage got lost between France and Italy. Inside the missing baggage was a gift for the pontiff: a multicoloured poncho and a silver object.

Paraguayan officials assured the papal staff that as soon as the seven missing suitcases showed up, the gift would be sent over.

nly three of the delegation’s bags arrived on schedule.
