THURSDAY AND FRIDAY were fairly normal.
If you're wondering where the pictures are, my camera isn't working. I'll try taking some with my cell phone.
SATURDAY morning 2:30 AM the phone rang. It was Saul our math and science teacher. Things have been tight financially for them so he had gone into the city to make some extra money using his car as a taxi. On the way home a drunk came over into his lane and slammed into another vehicle and then into the driver’s side of Saul’s car. I called Marcos and we went looking for Saul. The driver of the other vehicle tried to drive off but his vehicle was not drivable. I came back to Portachuelo and got a tow truck for the other vehicle. Marcos stayed with Saul to drive his car back but the radiator was losing water and overheating. I made another trip back to the scene of the accident (What did we do before cell phones?) and towed them to the mechanic shop where the other driver was waiting. The other driver was angry and didn't want to pay the tow truck driver so things were a bit difficult for awhile. Finally they settled accounts. Saul went home, the other driver and his wife; (she was drunk also) slept in their car. The next day they all went into the city with Marcos to look for a new door for Saul’s car.
Sunday we'll meet the other driver and his wife again.
