A Nature Conservancy preserve, just on “our” side of the U.S. / Mexican border. It came complete with an I.N.S. (what are they called now?!?) blimp and everything. Due to a scheduling snafu, we spent a whole 45 minutes on the ground … *sigh*.

On the way back, our bus was forced to stop at Border Patrol checkpoint. The most fun of the trip so far was trying to convince an English ex-pat friend of mine that he should hide in the bathroom to avoid being deported. He kept dismissing the idea as “poor” as “it might arouse suspicion” … *sigh*.
