Nine humorous tales of life in Tecate, a dusty Mexican town in Baja California. In Jeemy, a Los Angeles man moves his business to Tecate to escape taxes, only to lose his money when the Mexican government nationalizes banks. In The Miracle, the sight of unemployed men spending money like water starts a rumor that they discovered buried treasure, in fact a generous gringo mission.

First Sentence
