On our first date, Juan told me he had this Volkswagen camper van and his intention was to drive it from San Francisco down through Patagonia.
What’s happened since that first date?
Well…! We had a second date. On that second date, Juan invited me to join him in Spain, where he was going the following week to, you know, run with the bulls.
I said, “Isn’t that sort of crazy?” I’m not sure if I was talking about the bulls or about going to Spain with a (clearly deranged) man I’d just met.
He said, “Of course! But if we don’t do crazy things–then who will?”
We set forth at the end of June.
