I just came back

I just came back from a trip across the street to the school. As board president, and now that we don't have a principal, I find myself heading over there more often. It is literally across the street, and I can hear the bell ring and kids playing from the hangar.

Saw something rather unusual on my way back over. There was a small fender bender. A small car hit a camioneta. It didn't look like anyone was hurt, but the hood on the car was bent quite a bit. The way people drive around here, I'm surprised there aren't more accidents. People drive very defensively though, and use their horns a lot. One thing that is very different here are left hand turns. This isn't true about the whole country, but in rural areas when making a left hand turn, you pull over to the right side of the road and wait for following traffic to pass before making the turn. Doesn't make sense to an impatient North American, but that's the way it works here!
