Alfonsina a Baja Legend

By Danny Motola and Maureen Motola

As Snoopy II, our 24-foot sport cabin cruiser, slowly approached the smooth shore in the lovely bay of San Luis Gonzaga, several small cabins, shacks, and trailers came into view. Perched on the edge of the beach like seagulls, the houses peeked out from thatched palapas that shaded them from the relentless sun. We drew closer and spotted what we were looking for. A fuel shack. We anchored, launched our dingy and rowed ashore, trudged up the sand where we met a pleasant-looking woman. "En que puedo servirles?" she said with a great smile. "How can I help you?" Big brown eyes that seemed to sit on top of two of the rosiest cheeks that we had ever seen caught our attention. Dan answered her in perfect Spanish and her eyes danced with mischief, and we instantly fell in love with Alfonsina Urquidez Valencia. A deep friendship developed that kept us coming back for thirty years. This book is about Alfonsina, truly a Baja Legend. In a country and at a time when women "just didn't do that"-she did.
