A Gem of a Sentence

No idea how the grammar holds up, but I love it anyway.  Made me smile and keep reading :D

"They picked us up at the airport in a seat-belt-less van manned by a driver who looked barely out of his teens, and we began the five-hour drive to our hotel in a town so remote, I hadn’t confidently located it on a map."

Interesting article. - it took what could be a boring scientific article and made it very accessible.

I really find it amazing that in 2018, a person can struggle to find a hotel and town on a map.  Not that the person is incompetent, but that there are places on this Earth that are vague enough or remote enough too warrant a "best guess" estimate of where something might be.

Can you see the scene where your spouse asks you where you are off to for your next assignment, and you grab a map, and say something like, "I think it is somewhere around here."  it just makes me chuckle, since I know that's not "normal" anymore.
