The Green Sidewalk

Ok so we went to Girona last weekend as a program. All the IES kids. I had my expensive camera with me and my coat.

They split us up into groups and my group took this tour of the city. After the tour we had an hour to ourselves before we had to meet up again. So I decided to walk around Girona and explore.

I´m walking down this street and I see a park, garden thing. I´m like "omg yes! I should walk through there that will be awesome." So I am walking on the road and there is a green sidewalk that I need to walk onto so that I can step over the bushes and get into the garden. (see green sidewalk above).

So I step onto the green sidewalk and all of the sudden I have no idea what is happening. All of the sudden I am completely underwater. I´m submerged in water. I swim to the top and realize that the sidewalk wasen´t a sidewalk at all, it was a moat. I fell into a moat.

So I climb out of the moat completely soaked, camera, coat and all. I am covered in green. Green plant stuff in my hair, mouth, all over my clothes, in my boots, socks, and later to find out in my bra, underwear, everywhere. I fell into a moat, a deep moat. I didn´t even touch the bottom when I fell in.

So of course I still had to meet my group so I´m now in the garden and I´m walking around and lo and behold the entrance to the garden was 20 feet away and I didn´t realize. So I´m walking back to meet my group and people are doing double-takes and completely staring at me because I was covering in green and I was soaking wet. I fell into a moat. It was so embarrassing. I was so sure that I was stepping onto pavement that for a few seconds when I was underwater and when I swam up from the water I didn't understand what had happened. It felt like the Twilight Zone or something. It was the best thing ever. I fell into a moat.
