"A charming account of the building of the dream house in Baja California. Mr. Gomez, on whom all hangs, is a wonderful character-creation." --Clifton Fadiman
Their house took form, first in their imaginations, then in some recoverable format. Little things went wrong along the way.... The building site had a means of moving slightly each time they visited it, and by the time the foundation was laid, it had moved to the center of the road. Gomez got around that simply by moving the road.
Fortunately, Gomez was always readily available to supply the solution, and the dream house was finally built. Along the way, the Smiths came to accept Mr. Gomez's philosophy that practical problems can be solved with a little time -- and just a little tequila.
