I parked next to the Chula Mall. Well actually the Mall burned down years ago. Now there is just an area of derelict land, a sparse forest of concrete stumps and rusting re-bar. Still, if you mention the Chula Mall to people here they know just where you mean.
We were heading towards Speedcash for the painful monthly ritual of sending money home. Painful because of the strength of the pound. The exchange rate is SR7.5 this week. LuAnne stopped the traffic, flashing her ankles and a smiling at the drivers, her red hair blowing in the wind. Well, I think that is why the first driver stopped. It could have been my legs of course, but that would be vain. As we stepped from the curb there was a screech and a bang. Only the first car stopped.
I’m not sure what the correct etiquette is when you have caused an accident, but I am certain that we were out of order. We smiled weakly at the driver, raised our hands in thanks and walked on. I still feel bad about it.
