Trills on Wheels from San Miguel to Celaya.
Riding in the car with Jim has forever been an adventure. Each time I am prepared for this to be my last car ride. In Mexico where the roads are narrow and with no level extension, one small error could be devastating. Jim, like most U.S citizens takes up a lot of space. This phenomena was first pointed out to Patty and me by Kora and Ross Feller while we all were in Amsterdam some years ago. We also noticed it in France last year and here in San Miguel. Jim, the sight seer driver, hugs the middle of the road and swerves back at the last moment upon sighting the on coming car, bus or truck. The road is small and the tension intense. Yet, here we are. As we all know, the psychological condition of a passenger is much different than that of the driver. It is the control factor – confidence within the driver and lack of it for the driver. Yet another situation in which one can learn patience and if so inclined, trust in destiny – yours yes, but what about the driver’s – OK, his too. We are all in this together and entered into it knowing what we know. I certainly do appreciate my bro’s generosity and ability to ignore my short comings.
