Your favorite Baja quote is???
In another thread going there is a good list of favorite Baja books. How about what is your favorite quote from one of those books? Here is one of
mine from There It Is Baja!
After Mike McMahan gives us 231 pages of stories and observations about Baja he ends with this line:
" Good Lord, please...please don't make me turn in my sleeping bag too soon. I just gotta go, one more time...
So what is/are some of your favorite Baja quotes?
And on a side note, from the same book on page 140 is this picture that I like of two guys showing off their catch of Totuava. But I've always
wondered what the third guy way in the back was doing.
Maybe I have that little yellow line in the wrong place.

T.I.M. "this is Mexico" - My take on the saying quoted in Blood Diamond, "T.I.A." for "this is Africa" as if to say "oh well..." when something goes
awry.

Yeah, that's the one.
I was in Bogota one time and feeling so homesick, when someone said that to me. Still remember it 18 years later.
