Detour
It seems everyday Brandon and I drive home from class, we have a new adventure. We left kind of later than usual and we experienced some traffic. We stopped at the grocery store to pick up a few things, respectively. We have each become fans of the prepared food – MSU gives us enough per diem to buy whatever we feel like. I already had enough dinner food but needed bananas and bread and some lunch meat. They hand carved the roast turkey I wanted – ummm, when does that ever happen? And it wasn’t a butcher. I wanted to find scones but they didn’t have any. I will need to find a bakery.
We returned to the car – it was raining. (umm, are you surprised?) We headed back to our main road, A38, and only have about 1.5 miles more to go, but the highway heading our way was now closed by the police. I started wonder, “How are we going to get home? We only know one way?� So we went a different way and fortunately ended up on A38 in the direction we wanted to go. But within a few yards, all the traffic stopped and we could see that all the traffic had to turn off the highway – only a mere .5 mile from our cottage. So we started our adventure. We turned off at the second left and then turned left again when we saw a small sign for Landrake/St. Germans. It was another single-car road and we actually met one lorrie (truck) and car but we made it by. A car was following us. We were so happy to find out that we ended up right at our cottage! The most amusing part of the whole adventure is that the car behind us, assumedly thinking we actually knew our way around, followed us all the way into our cottage compound when I stopped to drop Brandon off at his cottage. They turned around and returned out of our cottage area. We were laughing quite a bit!
