Krista is currently trying to find a good vacation for us to go on over Easter break. Well, since we are having trouble getting a visa here, we thought this little vacation deal might be a good prospect:
If you’ve always wanted to live your life on the edge and are tempted to push the travel boundaries just enough to cause a little commotion, it’s never too late. Pack your bags and start alluding now about your double life; you’re going on a semi-illegal vacation.
Immigration and border patrol seems to be at the top of every political conversation. At Parque Eco Alberto, you can go on a pretend ‘Night Border Crossing Experience.’ The parque is owned by the Hnahnu Indians in Hidalgo, about three hours from Mexico City. The $18, four-hour night hike starts with the Mexico National Anthem. Your ‘coyote’ guide, Pancho, pulls off his black ski mask while actors gather around to scare you senseless along the way. Run from border control agents; dodge hidden actors shooting (blanks) at you, and make your way through barbed-wire fences. Survivors are blindfolded, led across a rickety bridge, and then set free to run across the border to freedom!
Well, in all seriousness, please be praying for our visa situation. Until now it has not hindered us in any way however there was a situation recently with a co-worker who is in our same situation which is causing our bosses to rethink us being able to travel (which is vital for our ministry here - and vacation) until the visa situation is resolved.
