Dreaming About Directions

Today, I got lost in Lithuania. It's a miracle it took me this long to truly get lost. I mean, a few weeks ago (it's crazy that it was a few weeks ago) I took the wrong bus and ended up a stop away from school but I knew exactly where I was and it only took me 10min to get back to school. But today, I was truly and utterly lost. Don't worry though, I was not alone.

As today was the first of the month we all received our beloved stipends and my friend Brittany and I decided to go to Maxima (think Wal-mart+ grocery store) for some much needed groceries and assorted items. Instead of getting on the 3 bus like we always do (the routes changed this week) we waited for a different bus and hopped on the 14 (I think, it may have been the 17) and set off. Through town all was good but then the bus turned left when it was supposed to go straight. Brittany and I decided the best course of action was to hop off at the next stop and try to find our way back and just walk the rest of the way. So, we hopped off at the next stop and started walking in the direction we thought we were supposed to be going. About 45min later of walking towards what we prayed was Akropolis the blessed neon appeared in the distance! So, I supposed we weren't utterly lost. I mean, we had no idea where we were and only a small idea of where we were supposed to be headed but it could have been much, much worse. We both bought enough food to restock our cupboards and then headed home on the right bus.

Adventure, check!
