Navigational Difficulties

I think the toughest part of life in London thus far has been navigating the city. It's easy enough to hop on the tube, but very expensive, so we usually opt to walk. The problem with this is that none of us really know where we're going. Amazingly, every time I've followed a drunk boy, he's been able to get us to the right place and on time. Still, in all my sobriety, I am unable to get us from place to place without major detours.

The greatest example of my troubles came a couple of nights ago when I tried to lead a few friends to the half price theatre. Regent's Park has both an inner circle and an outer circle, but the park closes at dusk. So, we ended up walking past the college twice as we tried to get out of the park, then again when we ended up on the outer circle! When we'd finally gotten ourselves out, we discovered we were on the opposite side of the park and it would have taken more than 45 minutes to get to the theatre so, defeated, we returned to the refectory for a late night snack.

We were able, however, to convince several people we'd been to see a French film called, "The Outer Circle."

In other news, I now have airline tickets to Paris and Venice. I will be staying in London this weekend (hopefully seeing Switchfoot live for only £6!!!), then the following weekend I'll be under the Eiffel Tower! After that I should be headed to Stonehenge, followed by that trip to Venice with Beth and Jill, my summer roommates. Yeah!
