Narla’s American Adventure
Part 2: A little pick me up
Related Posts
I am writing this as I wait to pick up Narla at the San Francisco International Terminal and I have butterflies in my stomach, I can’t imagine how excited and nervous he must be. His impending visit is already affecting my perspective: driving on the freeway here I marveled at all the cars and how big the roads are, when I stopped for fast food I got excited to think of showing Narla the beauty of the drive-thru, the Bay Bridge, which I have driven over hundreds of times suddenly seemed an impossible length and I finally appreciated that it’s a double-decker bridge! All of these things that I take for granted are going to be shocking and awe inspiring to someone that has never left the third world!
I think beyond seeing his jaw drop at these ‘little’ things I really am excited to show Narla our country. He has spent so much time and energy showing Brandon and I, and all of our guests, his country, that it seems only fair I return the favor. I know he’ll take it in stride and appreciate this experience and I can’t wait to watch!
