NO WAY OUT! ____ NO WAY IN!____

I have been to Europe many times but never to Greece
until last summer. It was an unforgettable experience! I
was staying at a small hotel in Athens. It was in a part o f
town where most tourists don’t stay, but it was cheaper
there, and I wanted to practice speaking Greek with
people. One evening I went for a walk before dinner.
Soon it started to get dark. I didn’t want to get lost,
and I remembered I had a small map o f Athens in my
wallet. M y wallet! It wasn’t in my pocket. I thought,
“ I’ve left it in the hotel room . . . and m y hotel key
is in my wallet!” It took me a long time to get back
to the hotel, but I made it. The door was locked, o f
course. Sometimes I talk to m yself when I’m upset.
Well, I must have said out loud, “ I’ve lost m y wallet,
I’ve locked m yself out, and I’ve missed dinner!” Just

so I went around some ropes that are supposed to keep
tourists out. Several minutes later, I came out on the
other side, but m y group disappeared! I couldn’t hear
any voices, and I didn’t know which way to go. I was
too embarrassed to shout, so I wandered around the
halls trying to find my group. I started to get nervous.
It seemed like I was alone for hours. I walked around in
the darkness until I finally heard the professor calling my
name. H e was very worried, and I was relieved! For the
rest o f our trip in Mexico, he made sure I never left his
sight. M y friends still call me “ Cave Woman.”
