Author Biography

David Baird is a writer, editor, and translator who doesn’t much like writing about himself in the third person (too close to being an obituary). Texan by birth, Mexican by disposition, he has lived several years in different parts of Mexico following his interests, which include food, drink, and the afternoon siesta. Now based in Austin, Texas, he spends as much time in Mexico as possible. At home, his hobbies include painting, scraping, mowing, patching dry wall, and extemporaneous engineering. For Lynne Bairstow, Mexico has become more home than her native United States. After living in Puerto Vallarta for most of the past 11 years, she’s developed an appreciation and a true love of this country and its complex, colorful culture. Her travel articles on Mexico have appeared in the New York Times, the San Francisco Chronicle, the Los Angeles Times, Frommer’s Budget Travel magazine, and Alaska Airlines Magazine. In 2000, Lynne was awarded the Pluma de Plata, a top honor granted by the Mexican government to foreign writers, for her work in the Frommer’s guidebook to Puerto Vallarta.
