Sixteen Again

Posted by Stuart at 08:10 AM on December 03, 2003

Francois, a friend of mine from San Francisco, arrived in Bangkok last night. I took Piyawat's car to pick him up at the airport. It was only the second time I had driven in Bangkok alone, and was definitely the farthest I have ever gone.

When I finally made it to the airport (with only one wrong turn) and then to Francois' hotel and then back to my house safely, I had to laugh at myself because I felt so proud. It was like I was sixteen again and my parents had just let me use the car for the first time to drive all the way across town... Alone!

I just finished catching up on your stories since November 18th. I laughed and laughed and laughed. Thank you for sharing your experiences. I feel as though I have been there with you.

Think that's brave, huh? That's nothing--I'm the Dad who let him drive across town at 16!! :-)
