Oh, but the TECHNIQUE of the wave...
I am partial to the palm-facing-outward, fingers-together and thumb tucked next to the palm. Then, with a single motion, I go from closer to the
vehicle to farther, BUT ONLY ONE WAVE, NOT A BACK-AND-FORTH! It's almost like a "so-long" wave but on the dirt roads of Baja, it is understood to mean
something like "Howdy, and fare thee well, as you go where I have just been"! It's a little bit like Nixon's farewell wave after his abdication.
