Genius Driver

One of the perks that I have in Libya is that I have my own chauffeur that takes me to work each morning and takes me home. He is the one that found my great apartment for me. His name is Ali. He is a genius behind the wheel. I mentioned before how most of the people in Benghazi are a little crazy when it comes to merging into lanes here and there, well, Ali knows their every move and some how our car does not have a scratch on it.

He has been picking me up at my apartment for over three weeks now. I have always wondered why he stays about two car lengths back from the intersection at the traffic light. Today I found out why......he knew that at that time of day a school bus comes around the corner and needs extra room so we were able to give them just the right amount of turning space. He knows where every bumpy expansion joint is on the bridges and knows where to go to get the least amount of bump on the speed bumps.

I will put my driver up against anyone in the city.
BTW.....I have another food story for you..........I stopped into one of my local restaurants to get a pizza the other day. I noticed that they have a number of types of sandwiches listed.....
one was called "Mixy Cana".....I might have to order that one to see what it is....I am guessing that they take a number of canned vegetables and mix them together and put it in a pita pocket. Or it could be their way of creating a Mexican dish that Don Pablo's might start offering in the USA.
