Unfortunately for me, I've never been one to venture out alone almost anywhere, let alone in a foreign city. I lived in London back in the mid-60's. One day, while we still lived in a hotel, I MADE myself take a walk around the block, simple, should be no problem. Wrong.
Turns out this "block" wasn't square.... one of the side streets angled out making me come out farther down than I had pictured I'd be. Yikes!!! 
Had I been with someone, anyone.... I'd have laughed and thought HOW did THAT happen?? Being young and alone I kinda freaked, oh no, I'm forever LOST. Back in the states, I came from a sheltered, small town for sure. NOW a days, I could so do this simple outing, no problem. Michelle, I'm glad you aren't that way... keep on having fun and enjoy your sweets, yummmmmm.
