During the 18-hour trip to Naples, I got to know my new friend Jennifer. At first, it was a quiet relationship, consisting mostly of long silences....I think the longest was about four hours. But as we spent time together on the road I came to appreciate her measured words, her calming voice, her sense of flexibility, and her ability to keep me on track.
Since we've arrived in Naples I have come to appreciate her even more. She seems intimately familiar with the town, even though she has only been here a matter of two days. It calms me immensely to have her along for the ride to get to the grocery store, the Wal-Mart, to register Jordan for camp, etc. And though I don't always heed my friends' advice, I will try my best to listen to hers!
Yes, it is sad that my first friend in Naples is my GPS. Hopefully there will be more to come.
Thanks, Jennifer,
