Inside of Mobile, with the Memphis blues again.

At a YMCA having accidentally locked the key inside the locker with all my clothes except the towel around me. A locksmith had to come and cut the lock off so I could get dressed.

In an elevator and my cell phone was the only one working. But just when I was starting to call for help the elevator started moving. The others asked me why my phone was working and theirs were not. I just said superior service.

In a forested area in some mountains in Guatemala my girlfriend and I were trying to return to our hotel on a lake in the mountains. We took a fairly long bus ride from our hotel to Antigua but couldn't get a bus back because it was New Years eve and all the busses were full of people going home for the holiday. We finally got a bus late in the afternoon. It wasn't going to the town we were headed and we knew we would have to get off at a highway intersection to get to our hotel. We got off at the highway intersection but we had 20 more miles to go. It was dark by then, getting very cold, and we were in t-shirts. It was WAY out in a totally isolated area in the boonies. It was an unbelievably stupid plan but we were young and overly optimistic. The plan was to hitch hike from the intersection to our hotel. Hitch hiking was fairly popular in those days and usually worked just fine. We quickly saw that only about 1 car passed every half hour. I knew we looked suspicious as heck in the dark, out in the middle of no-where, and nobody was going to stop. Our situation was rapidly getting worse. We decided we would have to walk the 20 miles but it got really cold. It was also so dark that we could not see the ground and kept walking off the highway. Having to continuously back track to find the pavement by feel made it hopelessly slow. It got very scary. After about an hour of very cold temperatures we begin to think we were really going to freeze to death and not be found until the following morning. Fortunately we had the incredible luck of getting picked up by a German priest who was driving to the town just beyond our town. That wonderful priest spoke perfect English and drove us (in his heated car) right to the front door of our little hotel. Our hotel room had a cute little fireplace so I went next door and bought a bottle of wine and spent the rest of that New Years eve drinking wine in front of an excellent fire.

Between two buildings I was stuck. Got loose soon later. At that time I was younger.
