Lost

Today I got lost.

Not "Oh no, I have no idea how to get home!" lost, but "I have no idea where I am, but I feel like wandering and I'll pull out google maps when I want to figure out where I am" lost.

I hope somebody knows what I'm talking about...

I had a final destination in mind, but it didn't matter very much to me whether I made it to that specific place or not, or how long it took me. Most of the walk I genuinely had no idea where I was, but that wasn't a bad thing. I wandered any direction that seemed interesting, knowing that I could pull out google maps at any time to figure out where I was.

It ended up being a much longer walk than I intended, but it was also really nice to have no deadline or timeline, or really any plan at all except a vague target destination.

According to google maps I walked 6km (close to 4 miles) but I'm sure my actual route was a little bit longer and less direct. It sure took me longer than 1 hour and 15 minutes.

Of course, I documented the journey with pictures. (Seriously, as much as I hate to admit it, I don't know what I would do without my smart phone.)

St. Ann's Church

I bought a smoothie at the grocery store, and it
came with a mini stocking hat on it...

I get overly excited when I see new things
growing.

Probably my favorite find, several swans
on a canal.

My main detour was due to this building.
I saw it from a long ways away and had
to find out what the giant green dome was.

It was a church. I probably could have guessed!

Double-decker bus

I also kept going because of this building, but
this is where I finally turned back.

I had to revisit the swans on my way back.
Luckily Jet was with me :)

St. Patrick's Cathedral, my original intended
destination. I finally made it! I'll definitely
be back though, on a day when I have more
energy to explore.
