Guardian Angel

made in Florida Jan 2006
recalling February 1974

I was on a bus alone going from Mexico to Guatemala.  It stopped at a gas station.  The driver said we’d be there 15 minutes, so I ran out to the bathroom.

Moments later the bus drove off, taking my back pack, money, passport- everything.  At a loss for what to do, another bus drove up.

With my terrible Spanish I managed to convince the driver to take me along.  In a few minutes we were at the border and there was my bus waiting in line.

I ran out and got my backpack and bags and went into Guatemala.
