Driving Through A Gunfight

Having operated a language school in Guatemala City presented one with many memorable activities. One the sticks to mind was Driving Though A Gun Fight. I was with a friend in her car and we were going to this Restaurant in another Zone. She was a nice chick that used to be a teller at the bank that I used. That’s another story.

We were driving along chatting and I Noticed some cops in front of us on the side of the street shooting across the street we were driving on. I ducked and said, “They are Shooting.” She only spoke Spanish and didn’t understand what I was saying. When she figured out what was happening it was too late and nothing to do but keep driving. Pop, Pop, Pop and we were through it. We had some words of excitement, etc and continued to drive on to the restaurant. We got there and got out and checked the car for Bullet Holes. None found, we shrugged and went in and ate Steak and drank wine and had a great evening.

You never know what day will be your last.
