It seems fitting that in this rainy season as the city is filled with beetles, the large crawly kind with four legs, that we might be celebrating Worldwide Beetle Day, the VW version. The pedestrian street was filled with these roadsters. https://es-es.facebook.com/WorldWideVwBeetleDay
At dark, as the lamps on the street burn brightly, I try to walk in the middle of the street to avoid the signed beetles careening to the ground.

Suppose seeing the “Bugs” triggered many a memory of your days & trips behind that VW wheel ! I remember many a trip with U ,M& M !
