Another “We Couldn’t Find a Box Story!”

So, we are walking around Mulege, Baja, a town day of running errands. We need to find a local sim data card for our Wi-Fi box, a stomach antibiotic for when, or if, we get ‘Montezuma’s Revenge’ and some groceries. Along the way to get the sim card, we pass the local bakery. We drool over the pastries but decide to wait for the goodies until after we find a card. An hour or so later, sim card in hand, we are back at the bakery and ordering up sweets. We plan to sit at the street side counter so we can watch the world go by, but the young lady motions us inside to a table. We walk in and a woman sitting at another table gives us a funny look while her husband chats on the phone. I look at her and we both realize that we know each other! It’s overlanding friends, Marilee and Rob. Over a year ago, we camped next to each other at Boice-Cope County Park in Oregon and struck up a friendship. What a strange world…Who would have thought, that we would have met up in a small bakery in Baja over a year later. If we hadn’t waited for our cookie, or the owner hadn’t motioned for us to have a seat inside we would have passed right by each other.

What are the odds?
Yummy coffee and pastries.
The nice phone lady who was very patient with our broken Spanish. A local data card allows us to use our magic wi-fi box to research places, download books, and upload our blog.
In Mexico you can buy antibiotics, and other medicines, right over the counter, no prescription needed. We are now prepared for ‘Montezuma’s Revenge’ (aka the trots, Dehli Belly, travelers stomach…)
