Ali's Special Tour

Stayed close to home today. Ann and I took a long walk around our neighborhood to see what we could see while the kids stayed in and played. She found a yarn shop just a few blocks from our apartment and is working on a baby sweater for our next door neighbor's little girl.
Late this afternoon we worked our way across the City to have dinner with another Expat family. We left their home at 10pm and walked until we found a cab. Our driver "Ali" took us on a detour on the way home and he got lost. Amazingly, in this City of 16 million people, I saw a gas station we had passed the day we arrived from Los Angeles. We were able to direct Ali to our apartment and arrived at 11pm. What are the chances of that?
We are beginning to feel the effects of travel and the move. Tomorrow we will play it "loose".
