I'm loading up my dune buggy - I hope there are still rooms to rent for Semana Santa. I used to know a guy here with a working school bus - I bet that would get you out of your plot of paradise. But I haven't seen him in a while - I'm guessing he fled back to Canada. I'll look for some other false hopes. Meanwhile, hang in there!

Was it Doctor C? The surfer shaman weed dealer in Bucerias? I met him when I was there in his bus. What a trip that guy was!!!!! The trick is finding me a destination. I'll manifest a caravan of donkeys if I have to to get transport. I just have to land somewhere. :-)

It wasn't Doctor C, some other rando with a bus. The streets are littered with them.

Bald Turkish dude. Had surf boards for seats. Youngish in 30s. He was on his way to Oaxaca in 2019 I met him pirating electricity from the Octopus Garden hostel. La Cruz had a good mix of characters then I hope it hasn't changed, but I think maybe it has. He did however offer everyone blunts and Turkish coffee and I learned about the holograms on w e e d packages. I'd guess he's renamed himself by now.

No doubt he’s renamed himself. Our caricatures have short lifespans.
