she's leaving home

The kids have packed up their wetsuits and firetwirling sticks and photo gear and computers and tents and sleeping bags and Dr. Bronner's soap. Today, they plan to jam the backpacks and plastic containers all into a marginal station wagon and head out for the Pacific coast of Mexico, stopping en route to see everyone they have ever heard or dreamt of. Once settled in hammocks and palapas at the beach, they will try to pick up enough work to eat tortillas and grilled fish.
Why I can't stop: Did they forget their sweaters?

No, babe. But they forgot you. Sigh.
