eBook Synopsis

“You’ll see the true reflection of me when the Tequila bottle is empty,” I shouted out to the sad, angry, bottle-shaped mirror to the sea. I sat for a while and watched the fog slowly envelope the town, the surrounding mountains and everything else I could see minutes before. “What in the …. happened here last night?” trying to recollect the last thing I could recall. Searching, searching my memory bank, “Aw yes, it was coming back to me now; there was fog last night, real fog, I was drinking Tequila and was trying to wake Tina up, and, and……” my mind came to a sudden halt. MYSTERY, MAYHEM,MADNESS…MARGARITAS & MEXICO; One Man's Epic Journey Through Life across two Continents and four Countries with 50 Years of Adventure and Mystery. But, 1986 a Spring Break Trip changed everything forever. "It's all good until it turns bad." One Event devastated the lives of 19 Students, 3 Chaperones and 1 Bus Driver. Was it the Tequila??? U.S.A.
