The scene:

We are sitting in “the cockpit” of my van, chairs rotated in for living room mode ;), in Guerrero Negro, Baja California Sur, Mexico at “the end of the world.” We camped on a pier near the lighthouse and awoke to all the fisherpersons taking their boats out onto the bay. Allison and I are caravanning together. We met about a month ago in Quartzsite, AZ. It’s her first time out of the US and my first time driving into MX. Join us in the van for a delightful conversation with my “adopted daughter” ;)
