a ride in a taxi

I know this may sound weird but one of my favorite things to do in Guadalajara is to ride in a taxi. The drivers are very polite and entertaining and the ride itself is comparable to any ride at Six Flags.
Grady and I experienced our first taxi ride from the airport to our hotel. The driver's name was Hector. He was very polite and sociable. I like to talk to the taxi drivers (to improve my Spanish speaking ability and also to be polite). As I began talking to Hector, I realized it was a mistake. We are driving down a busy road and he turns all the way around in his seat to have a conversation with Grady and and I (who are in the back seat).
We also took a taxi ride with Arnold who had a wonderful Arnold Schwarzenneger impression. Although Arnold and I tried to get Grady to do his famous impersonation of Schwarzenneger, we were unsuccessful. Arnold (the taxi driver) did not speak English but he did know these two phrases: "I'll be back" and "Hasta la vista baby" (which he said over and over again to us until we reached our destination).
Our most recent ride in a taxi was with Jose. Jose is around 80 years old. He wouldn't stop bragging to us about his three wives, twenty children and fifteen grandchildren. Oh, and his three girlfriends. Hmmm...
