But, yes, it's all part of the travel experience ~ not everything is the same as back home ~ but then, 'That's why you go' is one of Mr. C's favorite sayings.PassportEnvy.Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06831107530712154438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9037373503054020753.post-58921806939581602802015-02-16T11:57:48.656-07:002015-02-16T11:57:48.656-07:00Loved this!

One of our "taxis" in Mexico had no inside handles on the doors, for either windows or doors. Glad we aren't cloustrophobic! Fun memories & more wonderful pictures.

I'm missing pictures of you & me in NYC in the little bicycle rickshaw thing-y (don't really know what they're called). That's just a tragedy! You & me dressed to the nines in cocktail dresses & high heels, out on the big city at night; got caught in the pouring down rain, no cabs available, so we finally accept the rickshaw guy's offer. He lays down his coat for us on the wet seat. He zips up the plastic wrap so we won't get soaked ~ but. It's still dripping huge bucketfuls through the zipper onto our laps. Then he's peddling through the night and the drenching rain, and.......he can't find the hotel. Remember??? Then he finally gets directions at a stoplight from the cabby next to him (cause you still have to stop at the lights, even if you're on a bicycle out in the rain). And when he has to weigh the option of going clear around the looooong NYC block to circle back to the hotel entrance, or just zipping up the WRONG WAY ON A ONE WAY STREET! He chooses the latter. And I am laughing hysterically, 'cause you are almost in tears, screaming, "We're gonna' die, we're gonna die, I'm sure we're gonna' die!" I am laughing right now, still, at this memory. I will admit, in your defense, it was a little intimidating to turn down the wrong way in the dark and see all those headlights facing (and dodging) us!!! <br /><br />Ahhhh, but we made it, and are alive to tell (and laugh at) the story. Travel, for me is all about the stories!
