Knee Deep Flood!!

Yesterday, I laughed harder than I have laughed in my entire life. My friend Shannon from Milledgeville was in London so she came into Hertford for the day. It had been raining all day yesterday so there were a couple flood zones throughout Hertford. Anyway, Michael was driving me & jack and shannon back from the office and we decided to go a back way to avoid traffic.  We came around a turn and saw a HUGE flood area ahead and jack kept saying we weren't going to make it but Michael decided to drive through it anyway. Once we got about halfway through the miniature lake, all the lights on the dash lit up and Michaels car died!!!

It's pitch black outside. There are 4 of us squeezed inside the small british car along with laptops, cameras, and a flippin keyboard.... and we are stuck in a 3 feet deep pool of water. We opened the door and the water was seriously an inch from pouring in! Shannon, Jack, and I had to get out and push the car through freezing cold disgusting flood water and into an area that wasnt flooded!! We were laughing HYSTERICALLY!! And we laughed, and laughed... and laughed some more. Poor Shannon had to take a 45 minute train ride with her jeans wet up to her knees.

Okay, maybe you had to be there... but at least this provides a funny visual?
I'm trying to make the best of my last few days here but I can't wait to see my family, my friends, and my chicken fajita quesadilla from la parilla.

LOVE.
