Cab drivers here… well, it would be weird to leave one without knowing their life story… and in San Francisco my most memorable one was from a Jewish, educated New Yorker, who gave it all up to drive a cab in SF… he drove me around my last night in the city as I looked for extra luggage. Our car had already been shipped to Spain you see…

Loved the post!

That’s a very touching New York story – well, just a very touching story. You were probably the first person in his cab that didn’t just bark an address and stare out the window. I like it.

It’s weird, isn’t it – among the millions of people that cross our paths, now and again we bump into somebody that we remember…

If your conversation was as interesting as your posts, he should not only have refused your fare, but he should have paid you!

Happy Friday, Pia.
