It's been a process getting here - for the first time in my life I was rejected from crossing a border (Northern Ireland was close... but I still got in!). We made it all the way to the Mexican border and didn't have the proper paperwork for crossing. Bummer. Back to San Antonio!
But we did make it... hours of driving, hours of sitting, hours of talking, hours of reading, hours of standing in line... but we're here! I'm sitting at the largest private home table I've ever seen, surrounded by the lilting accents of my Mexican hosts speaking English to us USers, watching them laugh and reunite, and sitting back to enjoy the feast of Italian foods. What a blessing!
We're off to the hill country tomorrow to do dental work and build relationships and "have an adventure" (which is, of course, my favorite pastime...). We'll try our best to avoid any and all cross-shooting between warring drug gangs, while still living life on the edge (as safely as possible, though, Mom!)
Thanks for your prayers!
