i checked my pocket , found a valet ticket for my car , and i went downstairs , out through the lobby , and under the campanario , and gave the ticket to the valet along with a twenty-dollar bill and stood there , dazed , looking at everything as if i 'd never seen it before -- the campanario with its many bells , the zinnias blooming along the garden path , and those great slender palms rising upwards as though to point to the flawless blue sky .
