Mr. Able´s Wild Ride

So I got into a Teguc. taxi today with errands to run. Because of my past experiences with taxis in this country I was only slightly worried when I had to warn him about a car he was about to hit while not paying attention. Of course that uneasy feeling increased a bit when he almost slammed into another car when reversing to get around a student protest, thank god for the honduran´s love of horns. for the next thirty minutes we were trying to get around the protest to my destination, which was of course on the other side. This included some left turns at red lights and twice he went the wrong way down off ramps while attempting to get back "on" the highway. Its a good thing his seatbelts didn´t work of else I might have almost felt safe. I guess he did alright though because I lived to talk about it but I did take the time while paying him to memorize his face as to avoid ever getting into a taxi with him again.
