The hospitable barber

Jessica Drollette, of Tahoe City, Calif.

On a four-week bicycle tour from San Diego to Cabo San Lucas, my boyfriend and I always got a friendly welcome from the locals. In La Paz, we met a barber and avid cyclist who invited us to spend the night; he wouldn?t take no for an answer. His wife, however, was sick and tired of stinky cyclists in her house and politely said, ?Absolutely not.? So instead of the guest bedroom, we slept on the floor of the barber?s shop. We loved it! It was clean, and the barber visited with us late into the night as we shared cycling stories and practiced our Spanish.
