Un choque

We are restricted from driving on Thursdays. Everyone has a restricted day of the week depending on the numbers on their license plate. Ours is Thursday. We left school by taxi in the hard, pouring rain, nothing unusual right now. We are going along. The traffic to get to school and to get home is always horrendous. So you just stay calm, cool, and collected, knowing you will eventually arrive. But yesterday something happened out of the ordinary for us! A pick up truck hit the car, now when this happens you can sit in that traffic forever waiting for the police, getting the details of the other driver and so on. As people sped by they were yelling out the windows, just work it out and get out of the way! Wait, how are you supposed to do that!!

Denn says to me, hey lets walk it and try to find another taxi. Which is really hard to do in that much traffic and at that hour of the day, especially in the downpour. So in the rain we start our trek. We are drenched. Unfortunately I didn't have on my wedge crocs so my shoes were completely soaked. We made it maybe a mile from the house and Denn spotted an empty cab. YAY!! nooooooo. the seats were completely drenched. I could have wrung them out! The driver apologized and said his windows had been down before the aguazero, the downpour.

We were drenched but hey we arrived home! As our assistant would say....Good Times!
