Here’s my combined View from the Kiosk for Saturday the 22nd and the 15th of June
Both days were crowded and nice. Both were 200 map shifts and of course, if I gave to all the group members, that total could have climbed to well over 1000.
Here are some of the more interesting questions and interactions, with no editorial rankings….. for a change.
“Where is the Dakota Palace?”
“Where can I rent a chariot?”
“Where can we rent a wheel chair?” (this was a good question)
“Do you happen to have hand sanitizer I can borrow?”
“I’m looking for my wife, she said she would meet me at the lake”
“Can I help you find something?” -“No, we are just going for a little ramble”
“Can you come out and move that turtle to the water?”
“We found this iPhone, can you take it?” ( we don’t have lost and found)
“Fountain!! Fountain!!” -“Excuse me, are you asking me for directions to the fountain?”
“A cartina, please.”- I learned that cartina is map in Italian.
And one last one that is non-verbal. As I am helping a woman with directions someplace, this hand entered from the left and started to make grabbing finger movements. I said to the woman, “Excuse me one moment”. Then I looked to the left and asked this rude gentleman if he wanted a FREE map.
One observation:
It amazes me when the horse drawn carriage drives by with 4 young ladies who are intently staring at their phones. That’s a lot of money for some insta.
