Taco Bell and Raisin Ice Cream

Taco Bell and Raisin Ice Cream is a raw, humorous, and deeply personal road trip set December 1993 to January 1994. When the authors husband, Gunther, insists on a family Christmas in Baja, she braces for the chaos of a marathon drive from Northern Californiawith two reluctant daughters, a teenage friend, and a newly acquired second-hand boat in tow. What follows is a whirlwind journey of breakdowns – both mechanical and emotional – endless potholes, border crossings, unexpected detours, and moments of magic amid the madness. From sleepless nights in tents and roadside motels to serendipitous encounters and a last-minute Christmas under the stars, Taco Bell Transfer is a vivid, often hilarious, and sometimes poignant portrait of family dynamics on the roadwhere adventure and exasperation go hand in hand.
