We made it to Todos Santos. By the time we got there, Mikko had a fever as well. We spent two days there hoping to rally our health for the 24 hour bus trip.
The recovery suite.
Except for the 6 military check points and Mikko’s fever, that trip was relatively painless.
We are now staying with old family friends in Tijuana, doing a little shopping and visiting before Mikko and I fly home to Guanajato tomorrow. We are staying at their house, feet away from the beach. So far, it has been too cold for frolicking but it sure is nice to be so close.
We crossed the border today, for a little shopping at Target. What a crazy culture trip - acres and acres of strip malls. We still haven’t found sushi. We are going to try a place right downtown this afternoon. Lynn has told me not to get my hopes up. So far they haven’t found good sushi here or in San Diego.
This is a crazy town. Much of the time you hear English, much of the change you get is a mix of USD and pesos. And there is the everpresent wall reminding everyone of the how screwed up things are right now and the US’s welcoming, benevolent attitude toward their southern neighbors.
Crazy.
I’ll write more from home when I can post pictures as well.
Hey Babe, What’s with these King girls genes? As soon as they hit the road in Mexico they stop sleeping and get sick. But Laurie’s still sleeping like a big beautiful baby, and you sound like all you did was sleep. I just wanted to show that I read your blog.
I hope you’re home and comfy when you read this. Sounds like a rough trip.
How are Cathy and Lynn doing?
We just got back from Flagstaff where we were in a wonderful strategy session and planning meeting for the next 20 years. And where we took on some exciting work.
We had a great time with you guys, I hope you had half as much fun.
So how are your interviews? Have you done more?
We are gardening hearty and starting to get back into the social and meeting whirl that we are always in. How’s your boys? love you all. d
Hey Linea–
The photos of your trip make me want to be in Mexico the most! Especially of the beach and the dirt roads and the animals….sounds like your beach/bus/train trip had some similarities to our trip to Chacala.
Miss you, miss our walks. The highlight of the photos was the one with you in the back of the truck. Loved it.

Hey girl, you are such a trooper. Being sick and traveling for days, you make it sound like a mild inconvenience. I’m sorry I missed you but I hope we can make it up with a good visit this summer, although Leroy will probably be with his dad. Glad you are home safe, Oberlin was cool, I’ll email, love!
