And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

You know it was lost-lost when no camera dude caught it lying on a seat or sidewalk.

Yep. Though I was hoping it had fallen under the seat in the cab or something where a cameraman might not be able to see.

My guess is CBS dropped them at the embassy with a PA to get a temp passport issued and then whisked them off to the sequestration hotel.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, I was really bummed that it wasn't just in the cab!

Art Crawl!!!

Man, that really sucked.

(Just watched on Hulu - wasn't home to make up for the 40 minute football delay!)

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

TAR: So terrible!

I was so hopeful that it would be in the cab because they were lucky enough to be in the same cab all day. But I really do feel bad for them because they did have a great run.

But, yo, hold on to your passports, people.

I'm sure that "travel documents" includes any and all visas as well as passports.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

TAR:

Some interesting information surfaced in two post-Amazing Race 15 interviews with the tragically eliminated Zev and Justin: they only had 26 minutes to find their lost passports; Phil told them they won motorcycles for coming in first, motorcycles Sam and Dan will presumably receive; and the two went to therapy pre-season to learn how to be more effective.

I still don't get why they had to find them before the last arrival (and not before they would have to leave for the next leg).
