Transvestia
all I needed was a little encouragement. The main reason for planning the change was that I've stayed at the only park in Monterrey for twelve years and it's quite small. I didn't think I could fool the woman who owns the place. Then I began to think back to the previous years and realized that she never had really had a good look at me. My son usually goes to the office to register, and to pay, just before we leave. Another problem was, I couldn't pull into such a small park as a woman then go back and forth as a man. I knew that we would be arriving about 10 A.M. and most of the trailerites would be up and visiting their neighbors. Jean said, "Why change."

It's quite small, without much room for manuvering. When you start squeezing a thirty foot trailer into a spot designed for an eighteen footer, you better be pretty sure of yourself. I don't think it's necessary to mention that when only one space is left in a place that it's not the best or easiest parking. It wasn't. As I was guiding the trailer back, four women were stand-
