Guardian angels

Recently an Indian woman from our company's Mumbai office came to Finland for a couple of months. Two weeks later a few of us went to see a movie. I drove us there and promised her I would give her a ride back to her hotel. I had no idea where her hotel was. She mentioned two landmarks which were very far from each other, so she completely confused me. She knew the street name, but that didn't help me. I am terrible with street names, I always only know the main ones... So there I was, driving in Tampere without an exact plan in mind and listening to her trying to help me. I soon realized that what I was doing was not very safe: I wasn't concentrating on the driving, I was listening to her and trying to think of a way to get her home. So I decided to park somewhere to avoid causing an accident and think of a plan. Just when we stopped, my colleague looked out and said: "It's here!" She got out of the car to double check and indeed, we were parked 100 m away from her hotel!... I am not sure if it was mine or hers, but it certainly felt like an angel guided us there... :)
