couldnt 2 it. he clearly didnt have a phone，so after confirming his written directions，i mapped it on my 3 and showed him exactly where he needed to go.he mentioned that he had 4 going there，but there was no such street number and he couldnt locate his hotel. i 5 it again for him，he thanked me with a big 6 ，shook my hand，and took off. i got into my car and he got into his，and we 7 ways. as i drove to the next store and went in，i found something wasnt sitting right about the 8 so i googled again and 9 that he was looking for the right 10 but in a city a half hour away!unfortunately it had been several minutes，and in the peak rush hour time，the 11 of finding him was slim to none. but i decided to give it a 12 and took off in that direction. i had barely 13 what his car looked like，and was just about to 14 .i parked my car and was 15 what else i could do when the man drove right by and 16 over into a nearby parking spot，still 17 about where he was.when i pulled in next to him，he couldnt believe it.“ 18 did you find me?!” he asked. “im not sure，but i 19 that you are in the wrong city！” i showed him the right directions，and after more smiles，laughs and a handshake，we parted ways again.
