"A Gringo in Mañana-Land" by Harry L. Foster is a humorous early 20th-century travel story that follows the author's journeys through Central American countries like Mexico, Guatemala, and Nicaragua. Beginning with a plan to drive from Arizona to Panama that quickly goes awry, the author ends up traveling by train into Mexico, vividly describing his often-comical experiences as a foreigner adapting to unfamiliar customs and navigating bureaucratic challenges. Through funny personal stories and encounters with unique individuals, the narrative captures the author's adventures, local revolutions, and the easygoing lifestyle he discovers in Mexico.
