arroyos

Yesterday Brad had to go home after school and I was going to the gym. In these situations we usually ask the taxi driver to drop me off close to the gym to avoid having to pay two fares. Most taxi drivers here are happy to oblige, even driving as close as they can to the gym for no extra charge. That's most taxi drivers anyway. The one yesterday seemed to go out of his way to drop me off 5 blocks from the gym and right in the middle of an arroyo. But, I've grown tired of arguing with taxi drivers and I just decided to brave it. I hitched my pants up to my thigh and waded into the shin-deep water praying that I didn't have a cut on my foot.

So far everything checks out.
