For the record I am 38 and the new medical student is 21. This is not considered too unusual in South America but I know some of the North Americans here might think it strange, but, hey, do I care?
ha ha ha...the photos I uploaded with the girl in my Porsche in the mountain was 18 and 1 month when I met her. :dance:
I was alone in the car when the rain started. In this climate there is just no need to turn on the heater so I simply did not know where it was or which way to turn the buttons. In daylight I can now see how simple it is but when you are making huge turns every 2-3 seconds in complete blindness it is a different reality. I realize now I should have turned on the AC but that too would have been hard to find.
Now that I have had a few days to think about it I compare it to Russian Roulette but the trigger was being pulled every 2-3 seconds. I never knew which corner I was going to wipe out on but I was certain I was going to. That is why it got so stressful. But I think with Russian Roulette you get to drink some vodka? I had drank one shot of rum before I departed and was thinking how much better it would have been if I had 2-3 shots. If I had a bottle close by I would have been opening it with my teeth.
Also on a different note I realise that I just might be the worse driver in the world.
My new Land Cruiser weighs a ton since it has bullet proofing. I was never taught how to use the transmission to slow down a vehicle and am now trying to change my old habits of stepping on the clutch and brake at the same time. I almost lost the brakes on it yesterday!
Anyway, life is all about balance! I was here until 3:30am last night:
