Description: In this blog, a journalist and an academic living in South Texas share their travel

June 5, 2013. It spanned 16 counties on the Texas side and the states of Tamaulipas, Nuevo
León, Coahuila and Chihuahua on the Mexican side. This blog and its photos are a testimony
to this journey across the border.
