Not ready to give up this wonderful adventure, Thacker headed West. To escape the bitter cold gripping the US, she headed sown the Baja Pninsula, thinking she'd explore for a month and get warm. She... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Written in the same diary style as her first book. It doesn't matter that she's not an accomplished writer. Her personality and her joy in her traveling life are contagious and inspirational. This book has a few pictures which are nice, but I would love to see more and a picture of Tessie who is a major character. She made this trip about 16 years ago when she was in her early 60's. I'd love to know if Barb Thacker is still happy and healthy--and if she ever stopped smoking. Will definitely read the third book.
I want an Ink!

This was a change of pace for Thacker from her previous 'terra circa' around North America. This book, her second in the trilogy, is shorter than the first yet the timespan is more than 3 times that of the first. Such is Mexico.It was enjoyable to read of a Mexico which would seem, nowadays, to have ceased to exist. Indeed, in the epilogue, Barb mentions a second trip to the Baja 3 years later and the subsequent changes that had gone on. A decent follow-up to her first novel.
Blissfully fun to read!

I just hope she writes more books. Enjoyed this one so much I couldn't put it down. She puts you right there in Baja on the warm sand by the vivid blue sea. Her stories of her dog Ink add much to the pleasure of reading this cheerful book.
Have fun vicariously, read this book!

The only thing wrong with this book is it ends! I just wanted it to keep on going I enjoyed reading it so much. It really makes you feel like you are right there watching the whales sprout and the sun set over the brilliant blue green waters of Baja. Please Barb, keep writing!
