My First Women Cab Driver

Okay, got of the bus and had about a 12 block walk in the rain, it was blowing very very hard and when that happens my 2.50$ umbrella tends to flip inside out and become totally ineffective. So, i broke a rule and paid for a cab, c'mon people it was only a buck fifty. So, i hope in the cab, tell her where my home is, and close the door, "ahhhh, PAPACITO!" and than something along the lines of why did you close the door so hard. After that she explained to me in a very rapid Spanish how there is her job and she doesn't come to my job and start slamming things around, i gave her a very sheepish "lo siento" or I am sorry... and than sunk into the crushed velvet hiding my face behind my backpack. Later, she asked me if she could get to my house by going straight, i thought that we were becoming friends again, so i replied with a smile and a yes and got my posture back. As we rounded the corner we came to traffic light with a lot of cars, probably about 3 lights worth US, 2 down here in Bogota. While waiting at the light, i decided to keep our friendly dialogue going and told her that her next move was a left at the light. "Claro" which means clearly, but used as of course, was her only response. Okay... and i sank bank into the comfy confines of her crushed velvet even deeper than my first visit. While the light was red, red mind you, she started to lay on the horn and honk and honk and honk, while the light was RED! What is gonna happen? Is the light gonna turn green because of increased decibels? Are the cars gonna part like the Red Sea for Moses? You can guess what happened next... nothing, just more honking, oh and PS the horn sounded a lot like a dying cow, the first time she honked i wasn't looking in her direction and was so startled by the noise i looked out the window to see if a renegade cow escaped from the north and came to my neighborhood to die next to the rain water/river of trash. The light turns green, the cars in the right line are driving a little faster, and my cab driver actually jumps in the right side and passes the car in front of us only to stop a 100 feet later, having advanced her position one car! Finally when i got home i gave her the 3000 pesos, quietly closed the door, as she told me "Thank you love!" ...yeah right... and said some hail marys, Thank you god for getting me back to UPSALA....
