Description
Hugh Thomson's Tequila Oil is a gripping account of one man's journey through Mexico and Central America in the late 1970s. After being offered a chance to make money by driving an Oldsmobile 98 into the US and selling it on the black market, Thomson embarks on a perilous road trip that takes him from his starting point to the slums of Belize City. Thomson's story is one of youthful recklessness and adventure, as he navigates the dangers of the region with little more than his wits and a car. Thirty years later, he returns to complete his journey, bringing with him a wealth of experience and a newfound appreciation for the people and places he encountered on his first trip. This memoir is a raw and unflinching portrayal of life on the edge, as Thomson confronts the harsh realities of poverty, crime, and violence in Central America.
