The scenes on the bus are priceless.  One man got on the bus wearing a down jacket.  He was a very nicely dressed man wearing leather shoes, long pants and wearing this dark green down jacket. But not buttoned up.  He was carrying a small bag of  groceries. He had a very kindly face and as he sat at the front of the bus he offered a  candy to the bus driver.  Bus driver told this nice little man that  while he is driving he never eats.  At least that's what I think he said.  This little man in the green down jacket was Mexican, aged 60 or so and very short, maybe  five feet tall.  The other interesting thing on the bus is that the young men are all much taller than five feet.  But why was this man  wearing this down jacket when the bus  was full of people in shorts and short sleeved shirts?

  I'll never know.

The trip to town is easy on the bus. Ken is no longer going to sit near the front of the bus because the drivers drive so fast.  So it's the back of the bus for us.
