Jesus Raul

My last act in Latin America before crossing the border is to visit Jesus. He is wearing a sweatshirt with the slogan "Fear of the Lord is the beginning of Wisdom." stitched on the back. I ask him if he will help me fix my wobbling back wheel and he takes a look at it straightaway. Spends about 40 minutes working on my bike, fits a new cone on the rear wheel and charges me 50 pesos. About 2 pounds fifty. During this time he mentions that he likes, or at least is aware of, Liverpool and the Bee Gees. So if you a Scally with a passion for disco and need some bicycle repairs done in the border town of Agua Prieta Jesus is your man. Address Ciclo Norte Ave 18 Carterra a Janos No 2060 (telephone 338-15-33).
