THANKS
I would like to give a hearty thank you to a fellow Nomad (fdt) Fernando and his charming family, though thanks is not enough. He took us in for the
5-7 days it would take to get the importation on our car. When that turned into 2Weeks,we still felt welcome. When we left only to limp back with a
blown transmission, the kids cheered and Fernando embraced us saying "this is your home of course you're here" and took us in for three more days
while our transmission was being repaired. He made our problem his problem and helped us work it out. We can't thank him and his family enough.

After reading fdt's story of their harrowing experience and rescue attempt of the stranded geologists in the desert, their hospitality seems true to
their character. They sound like a couple of gems.

Ferna de Tijuana... un buen amigo!
Fernando (Ferna) is a good man... I met him 6 years ago and have since enjoyed his hospitality in Rosarito at the hotel he once operated and again in
Tijuana when we enjoyed a dinner together... phone calls and emails since then...
Nomads have a friend indeed in Sr. Ferna...
Here is Fernando the day we met...

I wanted to say thanks too.
I sometimes read the post here but never post myself, but I had to this time to say thanks for the great time. I know this is a little late coming but
Wiley and Carol, you all know what my schedules are like. Ha Ha
I never did dishes or cooked while they were here. Carol did that and by gosh she is a wonderful cook! FDT was happy.
You all are welcome again anytime! Stop and see us in July if you have time.
Simone
Following FDT wherever the Baja wind takes him.... That is, if its going in the same direction I am.
