I really like the row of palm trees. 🌴🌴🌴 

The First Time I Saw Palm Tree: It was around midnight. After an 18-hour travel day, I had just arrived in Jakarta, Indonesia. As I stepped out of the airport and headed to the van taking us to the hotel, I saw it. A whole line of palm trees across the street. I felt giddy with excitement and I couldn’t help but let out a few muffled giggles. Although the concept of palm trees was familiar, it was such a strange feeling to know that I could now go up and touch them for myself. Apart from that time I was a baby (which I have no recollection of), this was my first time outside of North America and in a tropical country. The sight of palm trees made it concrete that I was really in a different part of the world!
