Culiacán...Continues

The Wild Adventures of Roaming Hamsters...


We have had the full experience in Culiacan.  And, let me just say that, it is entirely due to our friends/tour guides.  Frank took us to a Cuban Bar where we got to watch a fantastic band play authentic Cuban music, complete with dancing.  It was truly a night of enchantment.

But, the experience that rounded out our experience was the car accident we were in while en route to ice cream.  The guy in front of us stopped short, so Frank hit him.  Then, a guy behind us hit Frank.  First, Frank got out and spoke to the guy in front.  No damage.  Have a nice day.  Then, Frank went back and spoke to the guy behind us.  The other car was a BMW.  The driver was a surgeon.  There was considerable damage to the BMW, but none to Frank’s Ford.

The next thing we know, Frank is back in the car and says, “We just made a ‘Mexican Deal’.”  A ‘Mexican Deal’?  What on earth is that???  Because of the way insurance works and how long it takes for the adjusters to show up, it would be cheaper if Frank drove away, and the doctor to claim a hit-and-run.  A ‘Mexican Deal’ is where the two parties shake hands and continue on their way.  Wow!
