Unsure of whether the graphic instructions were for the tourists indicating what will happen to them, or the rather old lady stood close to the sign as a reminder of what she should do to them...
From the series: THE SCENT OF PEAR
The scent of pear is everywhere;
tempting from across the room;
they are giving, I receive,
tasting from the morning air.
We, the pair in comfort close,
touching in our marriage bed;
you breathe out, I breathe in;
we are both the space between.
Need we any further proof
that we are all one universe,
breathing out and breathing in,
the pair, the pears,
the morning air.
Traffic picks up in Albuquerque, but Robin didn't pick up with it enough to suit these motorcycle guys. She was doing about 20 over the speed limit and in the process of passing somebody, but that wasn't enough for these dopes, so they went zipping by on the shoulder, coming inches from clipping our mirror. They did this so they could slow down behind a batch of traffic just ahead of us, and we passed them about a minute later.
This is why I hate motorcycle guys and wish them all ill will. I just hope the ill will I send them doesn't crash into somebody else in the process, and that I'm not caught in the traffic jam.
Driving around with a few hundred uncovered eggs in the back of your truck seems like you are just asking to be a spectacular moment in a movie chase scene. It didn't seem like a good idea to me, but as my friend Chris said -- "We are crazy and fearless here", which is a pretty good summary of Quito traffic.
