Today someone tried to call me on my cell, but hung up before I could answer. The number wasn’t in my address book: (800) 446-3942. “That’s strange,” I thought, “an 800 number.” So I googled it. Turns out, the Mexican Tourism Board was trying to contact me; that number is (800) 44-MEXICO. Maybe they were trying to send me on a free Baja surf trip?
