Choose the correct answer. I arranged to stay at a farmhouse outside a village in Mexico. My itinerary said that the plane arrived in Mexico at five o’clock in the afternoon, and then it was a thirty-minute drive from the airport to the village. I wanted to get to my destination before it got dark, so I could relax, watch the sunset, and enjoy an evening meal. The problems began at JFK airport. My plane was three hours late. I walked around the airport, looked in the stores, and drank coffee in the cafes. I didn’t eat anything. That was a mistake! After the plane finally took off, they gave me a cold, tasteless meal that I couldn’t eat. We arrived in Mexico in the early evening. The sun was setting as I was picking up my bags. I missed it completely! I went to the desk to get my rental car, and that’s when I discovered the next problem. The agent couldn’t find my name on the computer, and there were no more cars. There were no buses or trains to the village, and the taxis were on strike. The agent felt sorry for me. She called her brother, Carlos, who agreed to take me to the village. Carlos arrived in a very old car and we left. Fifteen minutes later… the car broke down. I was tired, depressed, and very, very hungry. Luckily, Carlos was a mechanic. After an hour, he fixed the car, and we started driving again. It was nearly midnight when we arrived at the farmhouse. A man opened the door and smiled. “Come in,” he said. “We waited for you.” I sat down with a group of the friendliest people I’ve ever met and had a fantastic meal.
