I have enormous respect for working men! They have a different energy about them...
They have pride and purpose.
I was lost in admiration on a 4:30pm taxi ride home back from La Lucia to town, until I realised that I was the only woman in a car full of men. Ordinarily a little white girl is supposed to be afraid of 12 strange black men, but I gained an invaluable appreciation for the working class. I might go as far as saying that unemployment is worse than HIV/Aids because it deprives other men of this pride and purpose.
Taking taxis is worth the effort, even if it is just to experience each other.
Viva La Lucia!
