Time Machine travel
Women who travel alone (not counting kids) have always impressed me. Perhaps it's because I grew up watching my mother manhandle that old '44 Dodge
Power Wagon ex-military-ambulance-with-power-nothing we got around in down here. So when I was recently loading groceries at the local Chedraui's and
saw this lady-and-car combo pull up, I just had to find out more.
The woman is from Acapulco, Guerrero and the car is a 1962 Datsun 1300. She and her daughter had driven from Acapulco and arrived in town a few days
earlier. Her husband, who's in the Mexican Navy, is due to arrive in a couple of days on his ship. She and her daughter are following (or, in this
case, leading) him in the car as part of a family vacation plan.
That a woman would travel alone with her young daughter is impressive enough, but when taking into consideration the age of the vehicle, it becomes
all the more remarkable.
Viva Las Mujeres Independientes! My hat's off to you.
That's some pretty basic suspention
There most certainly is but one side to every story: the TRUTH. Variations of it are nothing but lies.

Is there anywhere a bug didn't work well (save, perhaps, for the heating in cooler climates)? They remind me of the stories I've heard about old Model
T's.

Not to change the subject too much, but just four days ago there was a shoot-out at that exact same location where your photo was taken.
Cabo San Lucas, B.C.S.- Tal y como les informamos hace unos momentos, aproximadamente a las 12 y media de este domingo ocurrió un hecho de
violencia en el estacionamiento del supermercado Chedraui de este puerto.
De acuerdo a información preliminar sobre estos hechos, un joven acompañado de su pareja sentimental llegó al centro comercial a bordo de un Ford
Mustang de color gris (con placas BGW 2562) y se estacionó en uno de los cajones.
Repentinamente se les emparejó una camioneta de color negro (al parecer Explorer), cuyo chofer les disparó con un arma calibre 45. Los balazos
rompieron el cristal del lado del copiloto, donde se encontraba la dama.
Al momento no se precisa contra quién iba dirigida la agresión. Sólo la mujer resultó con pequeñas cortaduras del cristal que estalló por los
impactos.
Despues de haber accionado el arma de fuego, el sujeto a bordo del vehículo negro se dio a la fuga con rumbo desconocido. Testigos de los hechos
solamente dijeron que como característica el automóvil llevaba una calca de la santa muerte en la ventana trasera.
Now back to your regular programming of how La Paz is a paradise.

Aayyy ya yay, mi amigo men-Guano. You never cease to disappoint. If this is any indication of your level of comprehension of Spanish...oh yeah, I
forgot, we already established that a while back. That explains it.
Let me gently explain it to you, you let me know if I'm going too fast, ...OK?
For starters, the headline of your story is LOS CABOS, you nincompoop. Hello there? Anybody home?
But anyway, say it had been done here in La Paz, so what?
Can you say you've never visited the scene of a crime commited in public? These things happen, here, and everywhere. So, what's your point?
Now back to your regular programming in La-La Land.
PS
Why don't you come down--as per my offer in the other thread--and learn about the real Mexico, not that stuff you pull out of cyberspace. It would do
you a world of good.
At the very least, you'd learn that LOS CABOS does not LA PAZ make (and who ever said anything about "paradise"?).

Mengano revealed enough of himself when he posted photos of his (?) innocent wife and daughter and then of his pasty white hand (?) on another thread.
Go mother / daughter travelers! Love conquers all!!

Oh, "he" listens, alright. Notice how he just abandones threads once he's gotten his needed spanking? It's what he comes here for.

Not to change the subject too much, but just six million years ago there was a meat eating killing Dinosaur at that exact same location where your
photo was taken.

Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

Steve, there is not one word nor indication in your first post that you are in La Paz. Nada. Bubkis. Not my fault I cannot read your tortured mind.
And the headline of the story is not "Los Cabos"as you are trying to tell us. It is Cabo San Lucas.

Bajatripper ,
Really enjoying your historical posts. I'm ready for more. The 44' power wagon? Now that would be something to see . Any pics?? How / why did
your mom/family end up in La Paz at the end of WW11??
Must have been something to be there then.
