for better or worse we are back in the states. basically we ran out of pesos and rather than exchange more $, we hit the road. border crossing went smoothly despite our expectations. there was a significant line of cars on the border bridge to get to the inspection station, but the mexicans walking back and forth with odd concessions kept us occupied and full (candied pecan discs... mmm!). the driving was rough but we livened it up with a stop in white sands new mexico and the petrified forest of arizona. the pics are of angelo climbing in the virgin canyon in mexico (there was actually a shrine of the virgin mary built into the canyon wall complete with teal christmas lights) and of me walking through the white sands. we also stopped at the beautiful but freezing enchanted tower in new mexico for a day of climbing. a photo of that crag should follow shortly. we'll be in red rocks nevada for the near future just outside of vegas. the luxury of the peso/dollar exchange rate is over so we'll be camping now, cooking on a coleman stove and showering in rivers. however, the weather is still balmy and the rock is stunning. stay tuned.
