They'd traveled to parts of the world and felt comfortable on foreign soil for a week or even a month at a time. They diligently and competently performed middle-class jobs and lead middle-class lives with middle-class frustrations and successes. But in 2001, the couple finds themselves quickly approaching a crossroads, and with it, the age-old question: Is this all there is? \u003cp\u003eSeeking fulfillment, adventure, and passion, the Tolertons leave behind the mundane stress of a nine-to-five workday, ignore conventional expectations, and virtually run away to the peace, tranquility, and permanent blue skies of the breathtaking Mexican landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eTales from the Gringa\u003c\/i\u003e recounts the funny, impractical, and inspirational post-9\/11 adventures the couple shares over eight months, along with their dog, in a 1984 VW Westfalia camper known as Juanita.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ruth Tolerton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0595442749\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780595442744\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e iUniverse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/15\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 252\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.82lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.57d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ruth Tolerton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48441113280767,"sku":"9780595442744","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_91b12988-50c5-445c-8001-df42c67ea695.jpg?v=1777188775","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/tales-from-the-gringa-ruth-tolerton-9780595442744","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
