He had seen us on his road, and he said that he takes us if we are still there. We were waiting for 20 minutes in a bad spot to hitchhike. He spent 5 minutes to pack his stuff to make space for our luggage in his Mini and made a several kms detour to let us in a good place to hitchhike.

Dave is from Nova Scotia and he is web designer. This winter was so tough, that in April he took his family for 2 weeks in Mexico, near Cancun. There he realised that he could live under the sun all the time. So when he came back, he arranged with his company to work remote. His wife needed a break from a demanding job. The school is much cheaper for his teen son. So in december they’ll be in a fishermen village, in a house on the sea, 20 minutes from Cancun. His parents are living at half an hour distance, but they meet once every two weeks, and very briefly. When relatives and friends will come visit them in Mexico, the time spent together probably will be more dense and fruitful.

Nice exchange of experiences!
