Another memory about Mexico..

I was talking to son, Bob, the other day and he said, "How come you never told about the bus trip" So here goes. I wasn't in Mexico very long when I found out I was pregnant with Dick!!!! So at the time I was living in Chuatemoc and since one of Cappy's brothers had our car we decided to take a bus to Chihuahua where my Dr. lived. We went to the bus depot and paid for our fare and then the Mexicans, Indians, etc. started piling on the bus! There were lots of children, men and women so we had to take a seat in the "back of the bus"! On the way to our destination we stopped several times either to take on more passengers or let some of them off the bus. Well, we weren't too far out of town when we stopped to take on an older man and his wife? friend? And they had to stand in the aisle near the back of the bus. This old guy was carrying a rooster and he kept petting it, I guess so it didn't fly around! The two of them, the man and woman got into a fight! They weren't throwing things but one could sure tell that they were fighting! More people got off and so he sat down in a seat right in front of us! That bus was the stinkiest, dirtiest bus that I have ever been on in my life!!! I'll never forget the smell of sweat, etc. to say nothing of pets! Finally this couple pulled the cord on the bus and it stopped and let them off! Everyone was laughing because they were going up this "trail" and still fighting. He was walking ahead, with his pet rooster and she was lagging along behind, etc. Thank Heaven, the return trip was much calmer. Maybe by that time, most of the people were at home having their dinner!! This was truly an "experience"!!!
