Good stuff! I travel to Monterrey, Mexico often as my grandmother on my mothers side lives there. She is being cared for by my uncle, who found Monterrey's highly commerce city life appealing. Send me an email, I can send you a link to the pics, if you like. Edinburg, Texas too is familiar to me. Though I grew up in Compton, California, my mom would occasionally send me to the area to live with family and/or friends. I even got a chance to go to South Edinburg High School for part of a semester. :-) Hahahaha. Good stuff!

This was in 1968 when I was 14 years old. My grandparents immigrated to the States in late 1800's and both of my parents were born in the US. The bulk of our clan was in the US, but there were a about a dozen relatives still living in Mexico. Mom had one aunt in Monterrey and Dad had an uncle in Matehuala. Anyhoo, my mother had a "promesa" (a religous pilgrimage) to keep in San Juan de los Lagos and the time had arrived to comply with the agreement between my mother and the Virgin Mary. So one day that summer of '68, they packed us (9 kids plus my grandfather and grandmother) into the family station wagon and set off at the ungodly hour of 4AM - my father a firm believer in not "burning daylight." Now mind you, we were raised in the small sleepy burg of Rupert, Idaho. It had and has a population of about 5,000. My parents settled there when they quit the migrant labor life. There were very few Hispanics in the 60's that lived in our little community. Those few Hispanics were like my parents, Tejanos that settled there out of the migrant stream. We knew virtually everyone in the Hispanic community. On the morning of the 2nd day we awoke in a hotel in Edinburg, Texas. We all bathed and then crossed over to Reynosa, Mexico. My father stopped at a bank to do a money exchange and we waited in the car. Needless to say we are all agog - truly "strangers in a strange land." We weren't saying much as we were taking it all in, finally my youngest brother piped up and said, "Wow, there are a lot of Mexicans here." We howled with laughter and to this day we still laugh about that comment. Your trip has rekindled the memory of my first trip to Mexico. This was in 1968 when I was 14 years old.

I assume there will be pictures on Flickr? Looking forward to seeing what the foundational core of latino conservativism looks like. Safe travels bruva. Very cool.
