Since so many Northerners trek south for the winter, it would seem reasonable for Southerners to migrate north in the summer. But comparatively few of them do. More often, Southerners simply go to the same resorts Northerners visited during the winter?and they enjoy them just as much, perhaps more. The prevailing breezes wafting across beaches are often more appreciated in the summer than the winter.

A vegetable truck drives them some 300 miles to an isolated ranch in the Pyrenees above San Sebastian. From there, it is a four-night trek down the Pyrenees into the flatlands of southern France, where they are packed into the false-bottomed trucks. Once out of range of French border police, the escapees are sent to Paris or Lyon by train...
