Witnessing

Some of you might have heard that traffic is very interesting here...I quiet enjoy it because I do not have to drive. In fact my favorite thing to do right now is to take a taxi places.

Let me explain...there are no lanes of traffic the cars make their own lanes. They weave in and out of each other all the time with varying speeds. I have to sit in the middle of the back seat to prevent throwing up! If my mom was in the car she might have a heart attack :).

Ok so yesterday, Tim and I where discussing the traffic and how we think there are no accidents because everyone drives crazy. Then behold we are on the widest street in the world, Aveido 9 de julio (about 18+ lanes), sitting in the back seat of a taxi when we witnessed our first accident...the car in the "lane" next to us went into reverse and hit the car behind him...Tim and I where awestruck when the man driving the car in reverse did it to ask the Taxi driver directions. The man in the car that was hit got our and started to yell. I was ready for a fight but the guy was like, "your car is fine, it is fine, get back into your car" the other guy listened and Tim and I laughed about it.
