on the way home from teotihuacan last night, our bus brokedown on the side of the highway. it turned out that we had run out of gas. our guide was SO embarrassed, and almost couldn't talk when he told us what had happened. he and the driver got out to try and figure out what to do. we called the transportation office at the school, and were told something about it being a long time before they could get out to help us. finally, enrique got back on the bus and said that if some of the women would get out and try and flag down another bus, that would be our best shot at getting home anytime soon. no one moved at first, thinking that it must be a joke. but when he pleaded, saying that there was no way anyone would stop for a bus that apeared to be full of men, we ladies got down and started a song and dance routine on the side of the road.
many a bus full to capacity passed us forlornly. finally an empty bus on it's way to acapulco stopped and gave us a ride close enough to cuernavaca that we could take cabs home.
ok, so i made up the camino real part. it was really just some highway between mexico city and cuernavaca, but the rest is true.
