Dealing with crazy traffic
Tonight Carmelita invited us over for dinner at her place on the school campus. It was fantastic. We asked our normal driver to pick us up at 6:30 and we left Carmelita’s apartment about 10 minutes early. So we walked a little of the way. Then we walked further. Then we went inside the grocery …
