I initially decided to ask if I could take a photo of me on it, and he said no. I explained I figured no, but that I might as well ask. I mentioned that it probably was pretty much the same thing as asking to drive his police car.
We were all set up to take a picture of me next to him while he was riding it when his partner said
Sube lo! Sube lo!. ("Get up! Get up!")
The first officer (thankfully) agreed.
I'm no longer in Mexico, as NYC schools start next week, and teachers are reporting this week. I spent a month at La Universidad Internacional (
http://www.universidad.uninter.edu.mx), and it was a phenomenal program. I strongly recommend it to anyone.
