Side-by-side. The haves and the have-nots.
If I had a “bucket list” (a list of things I’d like to do or accomplish in this life before I kick it), I wouldn’t have expected “a Mexican road trip” to show up near the top, or even, on the outside margins of the page. So I was a little taken aback when Ben and I initially discussed driving the truck back to Wisconsin via Mexico, and I was all, “Are you kidding me? Five solid days in the car – two of which we’ll spend driving though the rural Mexican countryside? You say there’ll be armed military check points and they’ll search the car for drugs, weapons, and chickens? You say access to drinking water may be iffy? You’re telling me we’ll mostly eat out of convenience stores? Ben, I never thought you’d ask!”
