Just Call Me a Tourist"

So . . . I had gotten lost and drove to the wrong location but was redirected via a cell phone call to the office manager at the office for the horseback riding tour. I finally stopped and parked in a dirt area and called her on my cell phone again saying . . " I followed the signs and am presently parked in a dirt area but I cannot find your office " . . The office manager then says, " I can see that you are parked directly in front of my office . . it's the blacksmith's shack " . . . I then responded to tell her that I was looking and expecting a regular office builiding and a paved parking lot".
