That night, back at our lodging, we mapped the day in the margins of a cheap hotel notepad—the taqueria’s name, the mural that took our breath away, how the cliffs looked like a painting. We reflected on being “lost” not as a failing but as a mode of travel: an admission that the best parts of any place are often the ones you discover by accident.
