1979 | Cuernevaca, Morelos, Mexico
It was a special treat to drive the entire length of Mexico, from Arizona through the heartland, the capital, across the Mexican ishmus at Tehuantepec, and then up onto the ridge and into Guatemala, where the political boundary matched the ruler-straight change in topography; the neighbroing country to the south rose up vertically from a plain as we made the crossing. I remember seeing roadside farmers just after that, reaching out horizontally while weeding their steep fields.
▹ Two new books arrived on a pallet today: AVALON ORIGINALS: Catalina Island Survivors (following the evolution of tiny houses), and OB WALKABOUT: The Curious Neighborhood of Ocean Beach (a resident’s view of memorable details in a small coastal town).
These and others are available online at https://www.mixeddocuments.net/books
