So I'm walking back home with a friend from my program from the public library and we are taking a different route.... scary. It was time to part ways so she turned and I continued going straight. All of a sudden, five minutes later, I AM LOST.
-NO MAP
-BY MYSELF
-IN THE RAIN (NO UMBRELLA)
I did have my iPhone and my map application was working since I saved it on my favorites but I couldn't
a. Find myself on the map
b.Find myself on the street I was on (In Sevilla, streets change names constantly and not all the streets have name signs)
Yes, I could have just called my friends easily with my YOIGO (prepaid phone) phone but I decided to consult with the experts.... THE SEVILLANOS! I thought, well, I came here to speak Spanish so why not just chat with some locals.. they know the city the best anyway! About 5 wrong turns and fifty minutes later, I return to my apartment exhausted, with wet hair, and shin splints. Yes, this really sucked but I came here to speak Spanish I'm glad i'm getting what I paid for! :)
Anyway, I probably burned way more calories and when you live in a city with 293048309 pastelerias and no self control, why not get lost and burn extra calories!
