Getting My Bearings, Sort Of

Yesterday I purchased my first item that wasn’t for food, transportation, or museum entrance. It is related to transportation. It is a compass!

Peter suggested this when I was lamenting about having difficulty determining directions. I am directionally challenged to begin with and when the streets are not in grids it’s hopeless. This 3€ investment came in very handy today. I’d be lying if I said I walked the streets with total confidence, but I did feel lost less often.

Of course, things are starting to look familiar, and that helps too. Tomorrow it’s back to the countryside for a couple days, and then…. Stay tuned.
