(b ) after talking to the airline staff, i discovered that my bags had been mistakenly delivered to the lost and found office. (c) hours after landing, i finally picked up my luggage and went through customs. (d) i was really relieved to see my friend angela, who took me to her home. (e) as i left the plane, i saw many signs in italian, only a few of which made sense. (f) i followed a mob to the baggage claim and waited until the carousel stopped, but i didn't see my luggage.
