Travel Memories Last a Lifetime
Some things I wanted to relate:
(1) In 1972, several friends and I traveled to the Yucatan
Peninsula, Mexico, via Mexico City from San Pedro, CA on a stripped
down C-47 moving hardware to the plants that were then making
Volkswagens. We spent two glorious weeks after a long, dusty and
bumpy bus ride to the western coast of the Yucatan. We stayed with a
family that ran a hacienda for the equivalent of $6 per night,
including food and nighty parties (including a quincinera(?)).
When we returned the plane was waiting, and we rode back to the
states in the company of several large bales of what I thought to be
marijuana.
(2) In 1976, the bicentennial year, I rode a bicycle, arriving in
every state capital possible, from Sacramento, CA to Pittsburgh, PA
by myself. It was the single most important trip I've done,
including my travels through most of western Europe.
Have others had similar trips?
Thanks,
George
