Do You Need A Lift?

We walked over to Tortilla Coast for dinner the other evening. It is only about a block away and is a very convenient place for us to go when we want a quick bite. It was about 7 PM when we finished. Two women approached another couple passing by, asking them where the Safeway was. The visitors obviously missed their metro stop, as there is not a Safeway near here, but there are two several blocks away in either direction. If they listened to where the other guy said to go, they would really have gotten lost. His partner was texting on her phone and offered no help, and when she said something, it had nothing to do with the issue. So, we stepped in and offered a known route. However, it was already dark, and not such a great idea to be walking around in unfamiliar territory. We offered to walk with them to where we live and then provide additional directions from there. It became very clear that they were way off base, and as is typical of my husband, he offered to drive them to their destination. At first, they refused. But as we walked further and told them they would have to walk another 6-8 blocks, and that it was quite cold, they accepted. Once in the car, we learned they were from Saipan, on a business trip. You never know who you will run in to, and in the end they got to where they needed to be safely.  We got back in time to find the last parking spot, and we learned a little bit about Saipan.

Where is Saipan?

Not very familiar to us

Can only imagine how beautiful it is!
