the day chloe gets lost.

With that title you would think that this day would have be much more dramatic then it actually was. Tonight we went on a photo excursion down by the Thames to do some night photography. Travis missed his calling in life as a car salesman. He up sold the idea so much. He was saying how it was going to be lovely, imagine parliament lighting up with the sun setting, the beauty of London, etc. It turned out to be a mess. So cold, wet, and windy! Of 20 or so of us who went only 3 students ended up with Travis at the final destination. I'm still not quite sure what happened with everyone. Mackenzie, Chelsie, Rick, Travis, and I set up our cameras on the south (? i need mountains to tell directions) bank and it seems that the rest of the group were on the north bank. Mackenzie and Chelsie ended up leaving after a little bit and I went closer to the bridge hoping that some of the wind would be blocked because it was so blustery it was making everything 100x's more difficult. After a while I went back looking for Travis and Rick to see if they were going to be headed back soon. You would think that 2 bald guys, one of them shooting a large format camera would be easy to see. I couldn't see them at all. It was starting to get darker so I figured that it was a better idea to try and head back to the flat by myself rather than look for to men in a city of 12 million at night. The problem, I had no idea where to go from the tube station. We've been herded around like sheep when we've ridden the tube and I've only had time to explore part of our neighborhood. So basically I had no idea where I was going. I knew if I could get to Kensington Palace I could get home. The hard part would be getting to the park. Luckily (well miraculously really) not 5 minutes after I had said a prayer that I would be able to get back to the flat I ran into Chelsie and Mackenzie who had gone and sat it a coffee shop. They skipped out on part of Burrough Market and spent the day going around London so they were pros. I'm proud to say that I have now memorized the way back to the flat from our "home tube station".

I've still got to write about the rest of our day, but it's late, and I have a bunch of stuff to do before I head to bed.

Cheers.
