Family Stories and Recollections

Mexico

On the trip through Mexico, I believe it was 1973, (in Mexico City) we were
looking for a particular street. After some searching Dad decided to pull
over and ask for directions. There was a well mannered man walking down the
sidewalk, so Dad pulled over to ask. Dad asked me again what the name of
the street was and I replied. "General Cano Avenida". Dad hailed the man
over and began asking the man, with his regular Russian accent, "I need to
find General Cano Avocado". The man looked puzzled so Dad repeated himself,
"I need to find General Cano Avocado". At this point the man's face turned
to complete surprise, then horror, beginning to mutter "No, no, no". His
no's quickly turned to screams as he turned and ran down the street, arms flailing, yelling
"NO, NO, NO, NO". We just looked at each other in amazement and continued
on our merry way.
