Mexico wasn’t ending up quite like I had expected.

The Peace Corps officer on the payphone surprised me with new information. It turned out the big-eyed, playful young man I had driven across the United States and across the border to visit, because he was saving sea turtles with the Peace Corps, had been sent to save sea turtles elsewhere. No record of where the organization had sent him.
