Is this a decision or a choice?

My local fruit and vegetable shopkeeper gave me this conundrum upon my last visit:



You are travelling down a road when you reach a junction. You must go left or right. For the sake of argument, you pick left. Was this a decision or a choice?




I could not answer him. I felt that this should be that both are, but I could not bring myself to tell him that choices and decisions are identical. Is my gut instinct right? Are they distinguishable in this scenario, or any others?
